Iván Capote

Dislexia (La vida es un texto...)

A text-based work by Cuban artist Iván Capote, *Dislexia (La vida es un texto...)* plays with the written word as both subject and material, inverting or fragmenting language to explore how meaning shifts when reading becomes disrupted. The piece reflects Capote's ongoing interest in communication, perception, and the fine line between clarity and misunderstanding. By treating life itself as a text open to misreading, the work invites viewers to reconsider how we interpret the world around us.
