Tracksuit Poem

About Raúl Hevia uses photography and video in his work, underlining the visual quality of written language, the moment in which the verbal turns into image. He focuses in his work on the way private life is narrated and the contemporary Self finds its forms of expression. His work questions which mechanism of perversion can turn the private into a public act (performance), if private life is presented as a form of spectacle to the other. He reflects on how memory can turn each reality (each self) into fiction, or what relationships we establish between the content of ‘the archive’ and the perception of the present.
