Abstract Power

 

During the cold war, the world was organized in a very simplistic way. Today, power configuration is much more complex and takes into consideration many other aspects. But still fails to represent how real power relations are established outside the macro economical and political ways of configuring power on a global scale. All these configuration seem very abstract to me, almost to the point of looking arbitrary. These series of works are abstract representations of those balances and imbalances of power, and to the conventions established by the protagonists and organizers of economical and political power around the world: like the G20, EU, USA, G2, NAFTA, ONU, any many more.
