“Sacado” is Spanish for “taken out”. Taken out of something, removed or set aside. This collection of murals represents something that is Sacado from everything. Out of scale, meaning, reference, context, coherence and beliefs. Gender doesn’t exist in this world, because the binary is outside of common sense. Rules don’t exist, because we already broke them all.
Sacado is a window to a future that doesn’t exist. It starts with two murals in the entrance of the hostel that invites us to submerge ourselves in this new perspective.
Then I created four “paintings” that are like photographs of something that hasn’t happened yet, but that feels real. They have a red frame, but in this world everything is Sacado from the limit. I can’t keep the meaningless parts of life inside a frame.
Next to the bar, another scene belongs to this world, inspired by a small Florentine house. It is a mix between what doesn’t exist and reality, and in some ways, the impossible seems familiar.
The last is a scene of a chaotic morning. Where everyone is trying to wake up but they can’t, they didn’t drink their coffee yet. Everyone is waiting for that being to the right to finish playing and invite them over for an espresso. There is also order in chaos. You can only remove what was already inside. You need to know the rules to break them.
