Description
The Black Mirror series began when the Nasher Museum of Art commissioned a new work to accompany their exhibition From El Greco to Velázquez: Art during the Reign of Phillip III. The series as a whole, with its play of transparencies and reflections, makes impossible any clear separation between past-present, artwork-viewer-environment, or the pre- and post-Columbian. Site-specific installations and artworks in the series have since been produced at the National Palace Art Gallery in Mexico City, MUAC, Prospect New Orleans, and M.S. Rau. In 2015, it was one of seven finalists to represent Mexico at its Venice Biennial Pavilion.
