| Pedro Reyes, 'Disarm: Imagine/Disarm I & II (destruction & construction)', 2012. HD Video 3'50'' & 4'25'' |
An aggressive yet accomplished body of work created by Pedro Reyes for Lisson's exhibition Disarm. A tribal rallying cry on our socio-political responsibility towards contemporary society on a global scale. Reyes' used custom-built instruments, predominantly made out of destroyed illegal firearms, weapons he received from the Mexican Secretary of Defense. On certain moments, the exhibition discourse' resembled a mixture of rough punk tunes and industrial noise; on other moments, it resembled a dark treatise on sacred and profane socio-political things, using transgressive imagery and harsh and challenging soundscapes.
