Stereo Reality Environments 3: Brutalismo, 2007
Interactive installation
Tate Modern Collection
Stereo Reality Environment 3: Brutalismo inhabits a space between physical and social architectures and archetypes. The artist's model is a rendition of the iconic Peruvian "Pentagonito" which houses the Peruvian secret service. Its name was inspired by the Pentagon, the famous American Department of Defense building. The mechanized model serves as a cocoon for images and texts it spouts out. The association between "brutalisms,” brings forth dualistic associations spun from the dark history of the Pentagonito, juxtaposed with the allure of a brutal form.
