Burning House, drawing by Luz Blanco exploring memory, erasure, and psychological fragments through collage

Through his series of drawings entitled La maison brûle (The House is Burning), Luz Blanco breaks down fragments of psychological life like so many flashes from the past, between dissolution and attempts at re-figuration. Magazine and archive photos are the anonymous materials of his drawings, allowing him to bring out fragments of subjectivity in accidental ways: coincidences that are linked to elements of the artist's biography. Cutting techniques, collage cut-ups, and his aesthetic of the fragment. Here, the virus is mnesic. It exists in the shadow of all rationality. His drawings explore the potential for dialogue between erasure, memory, and forgetting, inviting a metaphorical approach to the notion of “soft error”: a type of error that does not threaten the system that produced it, but rather refigures it by disfiguring it, reprogramming it by deprogramming it. A sort of palimpsest of reminiscences that are at once soft, atmospheric, and burning.
