MICHEL PÉREZ POLLO – DOUBLE GAZ
2026-05-11In Double Gaze, Michel Pérez Pollo proposes a game of resistance – one that challenges the viewer to seek out similarities and differences, tricks and devices, errors and accuracies, the fractal and imaginary possibilities of a matter that unfolds before us into two. Like twin souls that bifurcate, like the very beginning of a human embryo, when a single cell divides into two, and so on…
We never know which is the original and which the copy; nor will we ever know which is primary and which secondary. And this initial doubt draws us in: we fall easily into his web of artifices, into his diluted glazes where humidity seems to linger in the atmosphere, despite an architectural flatness that encloses us as if within cells of symbolic experimentation, as though the artist, after years living in Spain – were quietly challenging the Andalusian Baroque masters he so admires, evoking embryonic miniZurbaráns in order to capture the same climate of memory.
