Mexico City, 1980
Lives and works in Mexico City

Joaquín Segura has built his artistic imaginary through a symbolic dismantling of grand notions such as history, truth, and power in the context of
diverse ideological systems from the 20th and 21st Centuries.

He channels his obsessions through propaganda objects, memorabilia and the iconographic legacy of the radical as a starting point for the develop-
ment of new readings on the contradictions that permeate geopolitical structures in the contemporary world.

His artistic practice constitutes a reflection on the phenomenology of violence and its contextual relations to notions such as sociopolitical micro-
climate, asymmetrical history, and the role of ideology in the contemporary world. Some of the most relevant concerns in his recent production
revolve around the nature of power and its self-regulating mechanisms, identity conformation processes in highly-unstable environments and the
ontological significance of dissent and failure, with a particular emphasis on its materiality. Formally diverse and extremely personal, his oeuvre
strives to meditate about the fissure, understood from an encompassing perspective in intimate relationship with the ideas of crisis and the present
moment.

His work has developed through platforms such as installation, photography, action or video and has been shown in diverse venues such as: Sala
de Arte Público Siqueiros, Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, La Panadería, Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City; El Museo del Barrio,
Anthology Film Archives, White Box and apexart in New York; LA>

Wage Labour and Capital

Color field abstraction of a pamphlet edition
of Marx’s homonymous work, published in
1982 by the disappeared Editorial Cartago,
the propaganda imprint of the Argentinian
Communist Party which became instrumental
in its cultural offensive seeking to freely dis-
tribute Marxist literature in Latin America.

Five States

outlines of the five Mexican states which, ac-
cording to the 2017 Mexico Index published
by the Institute for Economics and Peace, have

organized crime and institutionalized corrup-

the exact amount of specific materials needed to
reduce a human body to ashes in an open field
setting.

The quantities of wood, rubber and combus-
tible used in this work -25 tires, 1675 lb of

mable liquids- were determined by diverse
reports of forensic research teams currently
working to solve recurring episodes of vio-
lence-related episodes of mass disappearances
in various regions of Latin America.

The Battle of Hamburger Hill

Mixed media sculpture alluding to the infa-
mous Vietnam War-era Battle of Hamburg-
er Hill, in which the invading US military
fought against North-Vietnamese forces in
May 1969.

The highly questionable military command
during the battle caused extreme controver-
sy, also due to Richard Nixon´s Vietnamese
policy, considered bloody and senseless at the
time. This high-casualty 10-day incident was
originally just planned as a diversionary tactic,
instead leading to a significant loss of human
lives in order to achieve doubtful strategic su-
periority in the overall armed conflict.

Essay on Reconstruction ( José Martí)

Site-specific project developed in El Pantanal,
an under-developed settlement in process
of regularization, located in the outskirts of
Granada, Nicaragua. It consisted in the full
reconstruction of an architectural element,
formerly in ruins, placed in the middle of this
former swamp area. Although its real origin
remains unclear, it apparently constituted the
remains of a monument erected for Jose Martí
after the fall of the Somoza dictatorship.

The reconstruction process was executed with
active participation of the local community.

Casa Poporului

Multi-channel video shot in location at an
abandoned marble quarry in Borsec, a small
town in the Eastern region of Transylvania,
Romania.

According to its inhabitants, a vast quantity of
the marble used in the construction of Nicolae
Ceauçescu’s People’s Palace comes from this
location in the middle of the Carpathians.

This building is notorious for a number of
reasons, among them, its massive size and the
enormous economic and human cost of its ed-
ification, executed by a team of 700 architects
and 20,000 workmen, then abruptly inter-
rupted by the Romanian Revolution in De-
cember 1989.
