The exhibition is born from the memory of a photograph of the artist’s father published in a local newspaper during the stock market crash of 1996.

Mercurial Currents is a video installation that features images of the now underutilized spaces within the emblematic building of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange in relation to those of the overflowing Río de la Plata, while a computer running an artificial intelligence program processes past events in an effort to foretell the next impending crash of the economic bubble. A series of paintings inspired by quantum computers accompany the installation and touch on recent explorations into quantum computing for purposes of economic forecasting. The video and paintings oscillate between personal narrative and science fiction to reflect on family trauma, debt, and the failures of a global neoliberal promise.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an offsite performance that explores the connections between masculinity, the economy, and trauma.
