Pablo Mercado Spanish, b. 1983
Mercado's work focuses on human memory and how the brain processes it. He is particularly interested in fragmentation and recomposition, as well as the errors that occur in this reconstruction. He tries to mix science, psychology and visual arts in his recent work.
Pablo Mercado , born in Antequera in 1983, studied Fine Arts at the University of Seville and the Accademia di Belle Arti Pietro Vannucci di Perugia ( Italy ). He also completed his Master's Degree in Art, Creation and Research at the Complutense University of Madrid. Since then he has held numerous international exhibitions in Italy, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. Between 2013 and 2017 he was invited to carry out numerous projects in residencies for artists in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Holland and Spain. Since 2018 he has been living in Spain.

Pablo MercadoLeteo, 2023Installation composed of water glasses suspended and grouped following the shapes obtained from the fMRI. Each glass has a different amount of water inside but they are suspended in such a way that the water level in each glass is at the beginning of the exhibition forming a perfect horizontal line with the rest. As time passes and the water evaporates, the original horizontal line is broken. The water in the glasses comes from the plot of land where his father was born. In this way Mercado speaks of the impossibility of controlling the details of stored memory, since every time we remember we are modifying that memory. And of the fragile balance that exists between remembering, reconstructing and reinterpreting.View more details -
