Still Life by Jorge Isla

Still Life is defined through a set of recovered broken screens of mobile phones as a reflection of the modes of production and consumption of contemporary society, where, with its accumulation and linear disposition represents a recontextualization of a consumer article when it has already fulfilled its mission and it is obsolete, useless and far from a production system, establishing a new meaning based on a narrative based on the imposing physicality of a set of broken mobile screens in front of a dematerialized society and the oppression of the digital environment and capitalism on the human being, in addition to the almost absolute and vital dependence on the daily experience of our own community.
