PARIS.- The mask is the ultimate anti-object. Semiologists would use the term deictic to describe it — the gesture of a finger pointing over there, somewhere else. Whether it belongs to a Greek tragedy performer, to a member of the Anonymous collective, to an immunocompromised citizen or to a Snapchat user, the mask designates something else than itself, and in so doing it also distinguishes iconophiles from iconoclasts. So, there are two options: will you believe what is represented on its illusionist surface, or will you try to take a peek behind the scenes, even if that means being at risk of succumbing to paranoia? Heads or tails, image or object: perhaps the impasse is due to wanting to stick too closely to the lost origin, to mourning some naked face.

Nicolás paris, Aufnahme aus dem Atelier, Teststück für die Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Münster, 2024. Courtesy the artist. MÜNSTER.- Manigua by nicolás paris is the first solo exhibition by the Colombian artist to be presented in a German institution. His work is a poetic resistance to conventions, rules and entrenched convictions. His working method, based on the act of drawing, on dialogue and elements drawn from architecture, aims to encourage open-ended and experimental learning processes. The knowledge arising from this practice allows for new ways of being together. paris thus transforms the exhibition space into a place of egalitarian, communal and exploratory exchange, centred on collective experience. Essentially, his work is inspired by his interest in the strategies and politics of nature.
