Mexico City, 1980
Lives and works in Mexico City

Joaquín Segura has built his artistic imaginary through a symbolic dismantling of grand notions such as history, truth, and power in the
context of diverse ideological systems from the 20th and 21st Centuries.

He channels his obsessions through propaganda objects, memorabilia and the iconographic legacy of the radical as a starting point for
the development of new readings on the contradictions that permeate geopolitical structures in the contemporary world.

His artistic practice constitutes a reflection on the phenomenology of violence and its contextual relations to notions such as sociopolitical
microclimate, asymmetrical history, and the role of ideology in the contemporary world. Some of the most relevant concerns in his recent
production revolve around the nature of power and its self-regulating mechanisms, identity conformation processes in highly-unstable en-
vironments and the ontological significance of dissent and failure, with a particular emphasis on its materiality. Formally diverse and ex-
tremely personal, his oeuvre strives to meditate about the fissure, understood from an encompassing perspective in intimate relationship
with the ideas of crisis and the present moment.

His work has developed through platforms such as installation, photography, action or video and has been shown in diverse venues such
as: Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros, Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, La Panadería, Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City; El
Museo del Barrio, Anthology Film Archives, White Box and apexart in New York; LA>

Wage Labour and Capital

Color field abstraction of a pamphlet edi-

lished in 1982 by the disappeared Editorial

to freely distribute Marxist literature in Latin
America.

Five States

A recovered .223 cartridge is used to
draw the outlines of the five Mexican states
which, according to the 2017 Mexico Index
published by the Institute for Economics and
Peace, have experienced the most dramatic
increase in violence and crime rates, mostly
attributed to organized crime and institu-
tionalized corruption.

The Battle of Hamburger Hill

Mixed media sculpture alluding to the infa-
mous Vietnam War-era Battle of Hamburg-
er Hill, in which the invading US military
fought against North-Vietnamese forces in
May 1969.

The highly questionable military command
during the battle caused extreme controver-
sy, also due to Richard Nixon´s Vietnamese
policy, considered bloody and senseless at
the time. This high-casualty 10-day inci-
dent was originally just planned as a diver-
sionary tactic, instead leading to a signifi-
cant loss of human lives in order to achieve
doubtful strategic superiority in the overall
armed conflict.

Essay on Reconstruction (José Martí)

Site-specific project developed in El Pan-
tanal, an under-developed settlement in
process of regularization, located in the out-
skirts of Granada, Nicaragua. It consisted
in the full reconstruction of an architectur-
al element, formerly in ruins, placed in the
middle of this former swamp area. Although
its real origin remains unclear, it apparent-
ly constituted the remains of a monument
erected for Jose Martí after the fall of the
Somoza dictatorship.

The reconstruction process was executed
with active participation of the local com-
munity.

Casa Poporului

Multi-channel video shot in location at an
abandoned marble quarry in Borsec, a
small town in the Eastern region of Transyl-

According to its inhabitants, a vast quanti-
ty of the marble used in the construction of
Nicolae Ceauçescu’s People’s Palace comes
from this location in the middle of the Car-
pathians.

This building is notorious for a number of
reasons, among them, its massive size and
the enormous economic and human cost
of its edification, executed by a team of
700 architects and 20,000 workmen, then
abruptly interrupted by the Romanian Revo-
lution in December 1989.
