Rebeca Olguin
Little Cosmogony of Fantasy
Populated by contorted chimeras, the images of Rebeca Olguín, much like the bestiaries of the Middle Ages, ask those who seek to penetrate their meaning to see them as signs rather than symbols. For if the symbol, in its very materiality, relates directly to that which it symbolizes, the sign, meanwhile, is always a sign of something else. It is clear in her series of “Artifacts” that Rebeca Olguín is not asking us to simply see the objects of her fantasies, but rather she invites us to ponder their origins and, most certainly, the basis of their metamorphoses.
