Chilean-born immigrant Rodrigo Valenzuela uses found materials such as tires, folding chairs, and cinder blocks to allude to a personal history. Such objects are often used to create street barricades during political upheaval, as was common under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet witnessed by Valenzuela as a child. After photographing his staged arrangement of whitewashed objects in his studio, Valenzuela uses the image as a backdrop for a second photograph. The final print presents a disorienting spatial displacement that is both visual and conceptual.
