Live Streaming | Alejandro Franco

Residency
Written By Elsewhere Living Museum & Artist Residency

May 2018. Installation documentation. Found metal objects, cardboard, broken glass and china. Dimensions variable.

Live Streaming is a heartfelt, life-size diorama made with recognizable objects that encapsulates a single moment of North Carolina’s natural landscape.

Working within Elsewhere’s ecosystem of objects that constantly migrate and transform, this sculptural installation stands almost as by natural law of gravity and with minimal alteration to the medium. By fabricating a wildlife terrain and emblems of freedom with overlooked items from museum collection, Franco’s work questions the value of these materials, our fragile ecosystem, and human self-indulgence.

Alejandro Franco’s work is a quest to find a new function for discarded objects, to give them a new role, a new life. In an industrial landscape where made objects and information flows overwhelm us, he finds fulfillment in building characters out of various objects that were previously resting without purpose. Seeking hidden similarities between objects and in parallel striving to interpret thoughts are his great passions. He feels a need to intervene with these forgotten elements, to work with their poetic potential and create a convergence engaging people with their new existence. A seamless search for beauty, sifting through the detritus of everyday life.

During Franco's residency, he created Live Streaming.
