KENAI ALKAZAR PRESENTS “SUPERSTARS”

Cinerama at Grand Paradiso

Thursday, July 17 | 7:00 PM

Artist Kenai Alkazar presents Superstars, a hybrid project blending art and research that explores the power of image and the role of icons as cultural drivers.

SYNOPSIS

Taking as its central axis the instant photographs taken by Andy Warhol in the mid-20th century and extrapolating that work to 21st-century Spanish society, the author has dedicated nearly a decade to portraying, with a Polaroid, those role models, idols, myths, and icons who have symbolized dissidence, authenticity, and who have, ultimately, changed his life. Superstars. A visual essay on aesthetics, pop culture and icons is the result of a work of pop anthropology that seeks to analyze the power of aesthetics as a tool for self-construction and reclaims the figure of the role model as a fundamental cultural phenomenon, through the most well-known and recognizable faces of our country. More than one hundred and fifty unpublished Polaroids, accompanied by around thirty interviews and surrounded by personal notes, invite us on a singular journey through the universe of aesthetics, while leading us to ask ourselves certain questions and to question absolutely everything that has been established.
