 What Laserna's artistic proposal enables is the dissection of images, both literally and metaphorically, compelling us to look and discover traces of their historical and political dimensions.

Images mutate permanently; they open new regimes of visuality, where they symbolize and act as symptoms of what they signify. However, regardless of the power of visibility in which we find ourselves, Juan David Laserna suggests that it is not simply a matter of accepting the forms of representation with which we coexist but of questioning them, resignifying them, and transforming them to open the possibility of denaturalizing images, their forms of production and circulation and, above all, how we look at them.
