Carlos Salazar-Lermont exhibits his work in Puerto Rico and Colombia

Bruno David Gallery artist Carlos Salazar-Lermont presents his work in San Juan, Puerto Rico as a part of the international project Dislocada/Dislocated 2024. Salazar-Lermont is showing the video piece “Vanitas Vanitatum” (2016-2024). Salazar-Lermont produced the footage of this video a few hours before coming to the US. It addresses “the natural fascination for horror and hedonism we feel as humans, which prevent us from distinguishing between good and evil”, said the artist. Vanitas Vanitatum‘s sister piece, “Et Omnia Vanitas” (2016) was produced during the same studio sessions.
