Antoni Hervás

Antoni Hervás, Barcelona 1981

Period of residence: January – December 2012

Antoni Hervás documents by drawing those signs that demonstrate the mysticism that resides in the everyday. Acceptance of his testimonial authenticity depends on the will to believe. Extremely close and gimmicky storytelling rooted in popular culture, allow reality and fiction go hand in hand to dance into something real.

“Sometimes disseminated through publishing and distribution mechanisms of low-cost, sometimes through oral and performative component, these autobiographical stories are transmitted to the public, acquiring an exponential nature, allowing the local prowess of my father are universal, transforming my grandmother pop an emblem, or show my work place as the very same place where the Holy Grail is kept.”
