Lucia Pescador

“What I do is I tear. I tear shreds of paper and I keep them as relics. Fragments of categories of knowledge, documents of emotion – of memories. I put them all in a container, juxtaposing them or inverting their meaning – in a way that is a playful, private, and historical. Everything has the same weight, with no hierarchy of values.”

- Lucia Pescador
