Marco Pando has been developing a trajectory based on the development of alter-egos who, as protagonists of their own narratives, reveal details of their contexts and simultaneously articulate works that from their beginnings are linked to each other by maintaining a dialogue with the culture institution from two key areas: the museum and cinema… both – cultural constructions or machines – constitute both modellers of meaning and generators of imaginaries. Thus, exhibitions such as “Cultural Conqueror” (2017) and “Museum Tomb Raider ” (2019) each denote an active character that slips into the different works presented. This is where the details of one work can be traced in different ways in others, thus establishing a complex and open interrelationship in proposals with no apparent formal link but articulated from an elastic narrative. These characterizations constitute developments from a mise-en-scène crossed by the experience of cinematography – which is a crucial element in the artist’s biography.
