Naufragios

in Space Grey | Manuel Piña-Baldoquìn: NAUFRAGIOS

October 14, 2021

NAUFRAGIOS (The Sound of no Shore) is an evocation of the cycles of life and destiny.

This 15 minute video work is composed of a series of manipulations of a pixel sample from an anonymous body of water, shifting and folding into an ever changing seascape. The pixel samples warp, duplicate, skew into a story, inviting the viewer to consider changing orientations, inviting the viewer to think about ‘the sound of no shore’.

Born in La Habana, Manuel Piña-Baldoquìn is a visual artist and educator who lives and works in Vancouver. His works investigates the relation between technology, spirituality and justice.

in Space Grey was a durational mostly a-synchronous online exhibition running in fall-winter 2021, meditating on themes of connection, environmental extraction and accelerated capitalism. Works presented by Ashley Bowa & Lesley Marshall, WhiteFeather Hunter, Maize Longboat, Tina Pearson, Manuel Piña-Baldoquín, Emilio Portal and Tosca Teran.
