times in collapse
The exhibition’s title, Times in Collapse, suggests the disruption of a certain world order.
The installation is a dizzying journey through time, from Antiquity to the present day, giving equal weight to fragments of natural matter, mutilated artefacts, rebuses and other more or less clearly identified remains.

Connected so incongruously with one another, these ersatz realities cannot but provoke reflection, perhaps even incredulity. Lamas asks a multitude of questions that transcend language, referring to rules yet to be established and in most cases finding the beginnings of answers in the intuitive, error, chance and the unsuspected.

Born in 1980 in Lima, Peru, Nicolás Lamas lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
By carefully manipulating the images, texts and sounds associated with the detection, interpretation and transmission of information, Nicolás Lamas attempts to render the various inconsistencies generated by representation. He creates a world full of possibilities, permanent interactions, ellipses, attractions and repulsions, inversions between horizontality and verticality, incompatibilities between emptiness and matter, and distortions of logic. From one end to the other, Lamas develops a meticulous network that ultimately allows the ‘system’ to find its own equilibrium within the imbalance.
Nicolás Lamas is represented by the galleries Meessen De Clerq, Belgium and Sabot, Romania.
