Developing a work of “retouching” on his personal archives, the Mexican artist Diego Moreno explains: “I intervene on my albums because they only contain false photos that represent “happy” moments when we are broken inside.” “The Apocalyptic Landscape I. Family” (2020).

An altar boy for twelve years, obsessed with the iconography of the apocalypse, the artist suffered from his ultra-Catholic education which stifled his homosexuality. “In your Hands” (2020)

This work entitled “Malign Influences”, oscillating between photography and comics, echoes the film “Bad Education” by Pedro Almodóvar and the book “Me, what I like is monsters” by Emil Ferris. We delight in these sentimental horrors in the same way. “The Lost Games” (2020)
