About this series:
“Erasure also becomes the key element in Venezuelan artist Alexander Apóstol's series Residente Pulido (Polished Tenant). Apóstol depicts landmark modernist buildings without doors or windows. These buildings create a desolate city landscape where architecture functions as an inaccesible monolithic monument and artefact, an emptiness resulting from a belief in the perfection of form. These images derive their names from famous china collections, an allusion to both their texture and a certain fetishization in consumer society where every day objects become collectibles disassociated from their original functions.”
