Enrique
Garcia
Garcia's photo-based practice explores the processes that drive erasure, decay, and replication of form. Touching on history, colonialism, and the consequences of technology, his work centers on the paradoxical relationship between creation and destruction. His photo compositions combine disparate found materials to create networks of symbols, recontextualized through scale and juxtaposition. Through varied references—from ancient ruins, celestial objects, to modern technology—his work elicits the sublime while provoking reflection on the meaning of human progress. Garcia studied Sculpture at Pratt Institute.
His work has been shown at N.A.S.A.L. (MX), Aro (MX), and SculptureCenter (NY). He lives and works between New York and Mexico City.
