Note du spécialiste

“Cities are unnatural environments - they are built, they develop. In them human action is negentropic: it acts to redo everything time undoes using a process, like the layering of a pearl, which entombs decay within a matrix of renewal. It is a mirror image of the disorganization common to all types of entropy. José Parla's alchemy of public space transplanted to the gallery makes these connections between the layering of time and the decay those layers encapsulate explicitly a spectacular experience.” - Michael Betancourt
