Two Works: (i) Kunst Werke. Berlín, Alemania No. 4; (ii) Botas

Two Works by Carlos Amorales presents a dialogue between photographic documentation and sculptural craft. The first piece, a C-print capturing Kunst Werke in Berlin, situates the work within the context of institutional art spaces, while the second, a painted ceramic depicting boots, grounds the pairing in a more tactile, handmade tradition. Together, the works explore tensions between documentation and object, the global art world and vernacular craft.
