I am obsessed with reality as a direct contribution to rethink ourselves, to reflect on ourselves, what happens to us, how we relate to our context and learn from it. I develop through video the possibility of transforming the environment, in this way the street is the support on which I differ from our reality as an established absolute project, I show that our convictions, ideas, concepts are an essay in constant change and reconstruction. The popular idiosyncrasy and human daily life as an artistic action since anonymity. They show some innate characteristics of the moment of leakage in which they occur, the work arises naturally in a space, time and ephemeral action. Generating reflections on how we interact, live together and rethink life.

Marcos Temoche, Cobrando bajo la lluvia, 2019. The work shows an anonymous performance in the streets of Colombia, the piece emphasizes that each city has its own languages and ways of relating, also shows the importance of the environment in each context.

Marcos Temoche

Born 1982 Caracas Venezuela, currently lives and works in Lima Peru.

Course his studies of Plastic Arts mention painting in the University Institute of Superior Studies of Plastic Arts Armando Reverón. Temoche's artistic process manifests an evident interest in the context, its implications in the creation of a work of art, the appropriation of public space and the ephemeral transformation of the reality that surrounds it.

His works, interventions and video art, make reference to the fragility of the permanence in the temporality of the individual, incite to rethink public property, the sense of belonging, popular idiosyncrasy and human daily life as an artistic action from anonymity.
