We congratulate Darío Escobar on the publication of his recent interview in Milenio, where his artistic practice is examined through the lens of history, consumption, and materiality.

Working with metals, wood, brass, and industrial objects, Escobar engages fragments and remnants of the everyday world, transforming them into sculptures that displace the original function of their materials. Through processes of assemblage and recontextualization, his work reveals the pressures of capital, the erosion produced by consumer culture, and the symbolic weight embedded in ordinary objects.

The interview offers a closer insight into his process and conceptual approach, reaffirming the relevance of a practice that reflects on the social, economic, and cultural structures shaping contemporary life.
