Paco Poyato

Statement

My work is influenced by the current consumer society and by how this context in which I live affects transforming my closest reality. I am interested in the term “globalization” understood as the loss of the identity of the individual in favor of a model that responds to criteria closely linked to the control of power and banality. The themes of my works share interests such as delving into the reality of different human groups that are created around a cause that identifies them as a group, which share common experiences that serve to build, mark and define the identity of their members.

GlogauAIR Project

31 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the political, ideological and, in some cases, also physical, border between Western Europe and Eastern Europe. 31 years later, the physical wall no longer exists, but there is an invisible one that continues dividing Germany, which is measured in wages, infrastructures, education, unemployment, political and economic differences, which tilts the balance in favor from the West. An invisible wall, which still remains under the protection of economic prosperity from the capitalist West, which was reinforced thanks to the global financial crisis of recent years, widening the gap between the richest and the poor, ending to the so-called middle class.
