Alejandro Tobon has always been interested in the possible meaning of the search for a place of his own. Therefore, in his proposals he explores the value of land, its distribution and the forms of power that safeguard it. In this sense, he observes what he recognizes as territory, and questions how this, being a common natural good, acquires the sense of a product that is negotiated in a fragmented and systematic way.
In his artworks he speaks of ways of inhabiting that we do not always establish ourselves; it is the situations generated by nature that really make us think about the fragility of life immersed in an inevitable chaos. This premise focuses its interests in a drift that is nothing more than the observation of the changes and ways of reorganizing life from the moment that an event or situation of rupture occurs in everyday life; natural phenomena, disasters or simply a move. The idea of world or reality building does not have human control, they are fragile ideas about to crumble due to the precarious natural condition of life as a finite existence.
Alejandro intends to use constructions as manifestations that question what we understand as development in Latin America. He seeks to clarify a point of view in which what is important is no longer only the function of objects in space, but also the way in which we have been relating to the world in our eagerness to supply our individual needs and how this confronts us with the destruction of our resources.
