Carlos Aires lives at present time between Spain and Belgium, developing with his work his esthetic of ambiguity and analytic attitude toward our way of perceiving the reality surrounding us. From the collage to cut_out, passing through photography, video and performance, Aires shows an open, provocative art, full of restlessness and skepticism. He plunges us in an upset and disputable reality, where regular myths lose their sense; history takes new nature and truth gives space to half lies.
Carlos Aires likes to propose games to the audience, to discover how many and which could be the various ways to read a picture, a video, a performance, to interpret a situation. He works with association of ideas and stereotypes to disturb the perception and displace. These feelings are perceived by the audience because filtered through the cultural background.
