Manuel Blázquez is a constructor of voids capable of delving into time using a material as contemporary as standardized DIN paper sheets. Through the systematic arrangement of meticulously variable series and a process as simple in execution as it is complex in conceptualization, Blázquez layers the sequenced remnants of non-existent traces. Far from the physical impression of a manipulated medium, his traces are the result of absolute elimination—void constructions brimming with meanings and evocations. In his topological spaces, echoes of absence and memory resonate. The interplay of light and shadow creates a rhythm that vibrates suggestively in our ears while our astonished eyes register a surprising vision, somewhere between lunar and archaeological.
