SPECIAL EFFEGGS

The Hamburg-based artist Carlos León Zambrano questions real and fictional narrative structures and addresses strategies of social survival with a sense of irony and alert sobriety. His conceptual installations generally consist of minimal interventions into the space, yet often exert a powerful impact through a specific gesture or magical moment. Most of his work is inspired by the informal language, its ciphers and codes from his home country Venezuela. In his first institutional solo-exhibition, Zambrano has developed a process-based, ephemeral installation for the Kunsthaus Hamburg.
