Andres Zuniga (2010-11), "Zoom", artist's book, collage/prose/poetry
In this singular work, Zuniga (1983-2014) explores the subconscious life of late capitalism through an eerie narrative composed of highly condensed and sublimated scenes of frustration, fear, flirtation and epiphany, interspersed with similarly condensed dream journaling, poetry, and letters to friends from the period of Zoom's composition. The result is a work that folds in on itself hermetically, a re-imaged catechism of obscure, recurring subjectivities, apocalyptic visions, and cryptic pronouncements, despite its almost exclusive use of high gloss, everyday print materials and corporate slogans.
