Fake Truths

The career of Daniel Ruanova (Tijuana, 1976) is an eclectic journey through different formats and platforms in which artistic genres and visual worlds intersect. The bridges that cross these manifestations transversally are the themes of migration and the culture of the border.

Motivated by the evolution of Tijuana between the oscillation of necessity and its strategic geopolitical and cultural position, Ruanova’s artistic contribution focused on the ability of Tijuana to adapt to the political and economic conditions of the Pacific region, as well as the integration model against the grain of consumption modes and technologies from the North with forms of production and life south of the border.

Ruanova’s work is aimed at those generations that will make this a liquid world impossible to contain and define in terms of unique cultural and political paradigms. The cultural logic of this time is the uninterrupted exposure of people to flows and bursts of data that quickly move to the ephemeral technological platforms, and in which the notions of territory, culture, body or language are continuously interchangeable.

Composed of a dozen works in pictorial, sculptural and digital techniques, Fake Truths offers a journey through the most recent years of the work of Daniel Ruanova, which seeks to redefine the concept of border art, as a virtual area where culture is exercised as performance ( demonstration through action), and the computer aesthetic is recreated, to the extent that the artist’s biography is a piece of the exhibition.
