Fritzia Irízar

The work of Fritzia Irízar plays with the economic and symbolic revaluation of objects when they pass from their common use to integrate themselves into art. Also, his work realizes that history and science are almost fictions, built on tiny plots of knowledge subject to the decision of a few individuals. However, they are fictions that we wish to sustain: as acts of faith, of belonging, of will or of certainty.
