One Minute to Act a Title: Kim Jong II Favorite Movies, 2005
16mm film projection
Mario Garcia Torres approaches his work with a playful – and sometimes nostalgic – take on the history of Conceptual art, unlocking many of its forgotten narratives to bring forth new ideas and meanings. Through his interventions, slide projections, films and installations, Garcia Torres rethinks the tradition in a more personal way, animating events in recent history with a curiosity that is both critical and sensual. An archaeologist of cultural history, Garcia Torres is developing an aesthetics of information.
