(DIS/RE)MEMBERING THE EMPIRE, 2018

Documentation of an exhibition with Liz Ensz at Roots & Culture Art Center, Chicago, IL.

Ivan LOZANO enlists Google Image Search to find “difficult” digital images that he prints and transforms into packing tape photo-transfers. For this body of work, digital images of burning American flags are cropped and cut up to remove context and are then collaged into compositions inspired by visual and mythological elements in pre-Hispanic indigenous cultures.
