PORTFOLIO - Manuel Piña, On Monuments
Unstable identities emerge in Manuel Piña’s mapping of place and historical past: memory assumes the form of the landscape itself. On Monuments comments on the rewriting of history, ideologies, and the obliteration of the past.
Piña photographed sites where monuments were taken down during the 1959 Revolution. He presents these sites as discrete markings: an indexical history that is erased.
On Monuments, 11 photographs, digital color prints, 40 x 60 in., 2000, Courtesy Marvelli Gallery New York.
