Brief explanation of the artwork:
The artwork connects with the philosophy of Gastón Lisak, for whom objects are never innocent: they hold memories, symbolism, and the wounds of time. In his hands, the discarded becomes an archive, the ephemeral becomes a collective memory. Storm thus encapsulates a moment of the present—a gesture of preservation—that transforms the banal into a silent witness to our relationship with our environment.
Human existence is a collection of memories, like machines, cars; we are all a balanced equilibrium of fragments that make life worth living.
About Gastón Lisak:
Lisak, an artist and researcher, holds a PhD cum laude from the Faculty of Architecture in Lisbon, where he focused his research on Art Thinking and the use of anachronistic objects as a tool for understanding and visualizing contemporary societies. His practice explores the symbolic life of objects and their capacity to preserve collective memory, transforming discards and fragments into sensitive archives.
His work has been exhibited at international institutions such as Tate Modern, the Guinovart Foundation, Times Square, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, Salone del Mobile, and the MNAC (National Museum of Contemporary Art). He currently combines artistic production with teaching at Elisava.
