Jonathan Hernandez: Se Busca Recompensa

Description

Se Busca Recompensa (Reward Wanted) 1998-2001 Jonathan Hernandez Ghent, Belgium: Merz. Luc Derycke. 2002 “Reward Wanted encompasses three years of gathering lost dog leaflets posted in Mexico City. This collection of 104 documents added up in idle times during which I traveled from one place to the next, or simply strolled aimlessly through different parts of the city. The result conveys a tragicomical network of personal and emotive messages, and also transpires a political and social plot. The kidnapping of people still being common in Mexico, this habitual practice derives in new modalities, such as the express abduction of dogs.” –artist’s statement
