The Peruvian-born artist's work imbues displaced historical narratives with new meaning, conflating previous events with contemporary context and creating rich monuments to individuals, and cultural and ritual signifiers. His materials reflect the temporality of the subjects themselves, using discarded pages from books, reclaimed wood and stones, newsprint, found footage and salvaged cars to conjure intimate connections between far-reaching chronological points. Among the works featured, the House that Frank Lloyd Wright built for Fred Hampton y Mark Clark, 2006, is a skeletal room-sized layout of the Chicago apartment where two Black Panther members were gunned down by police in a 1969 raid.
