Past
Gonzalo Borondo
Gonzalo Borondo (Valladolid, Spain, 1989) is a multimedia artist who lives and works between Spain and Italy. His research revolves around the value of memory and tradition, the meaning of places, and the artistic and intangible heritage.
Borondo looks to traditional iconographies and the visual culture of the past as symbols to be contemporized, conceiving history as a continuum within which to develop new visions of modernity. Working with a site-specific approach, the artist engages with the roots of the context in which he operates, using the collective imagination, the "sacred," and the "popular" as elements of recognizability to establish a direct connection with the viewer. Borondo's large-scale installations create physical and experiential environments that offer a new perception of collective heritage.
