Valentin TORRENS

 

"...comme vous savez je travaille souvent avec très peu éclairage pour enfatiser le limite de la perception , que seul l'oeil humain peu voir, posant en question le transfere de temps et de moyen. L'action est un art d'ici et maintenant..."

 

Valentin Torrens, Huesca 1951. >From sculpture to installation and action practice. Since the 90, he had performed in twety countries of Europe,America and Asia. Present his work in international festivals and one-man action. interested in media uses and rewards. Perception as source and limit of our desires.The politics of perception, its liberation. The social shaping of the meaning. Communication as suggestion. Visual poetry in unconventional languages, breaking and challenging performative resources. Changing strategies. Decoding the accommodations of art and culture, its connivance with the horror. A double code real / illusion of the artist as a shadow, his own and the context shadow, which transforms artist and context. Humour and liminal play, short-circuiting the language's logic and the audience's mind. Action under dim ligth, stressing the direct perception. In the last three years curating the performance area in the multifestival PERIFERIAS, Huesca and others as TERRITORIS NOMADES in Barcelona.
