“Comprising four new pieces – two films, a hologram and a photograph – the exhibition “Walled”, by Pedro Huet, is structured around the theme of artificial paradises. In the works presented we can detect the artist’s desire to reveal the mutations that, at least since Baudelaire, this motif, the illicit consumption, has suffered. Focusing his research in the dialectical relations between nature and technology, Huet builds a narrative crossed by images of an everyday life lived more and more in the dependency on multiple screens, in which he attends a virtual war, paradoxically invisible, between those who take control of the new information media and those who, in trying to escape this alienation or intensifying it in an extreme way, propose other existential possibilities.”
