Abstract

In May 2023, Joaquín Ivars presented his video installation "Demonstration-Leitmotiv" in the temporary exhibition hall of the Museo Provincial de Salamanca as part of the project "La Imagen Promiscua", promoted by the Master's Degree in Advanced Studies in Art History at the University of Salamanca. The curatorial discourse was based on a paradox: in no period in history have images appeared with such intensity in our aesthetic, everyday, political and historical universe as they do today, yet we have never doubted their veracity to such an extent. Under this premise, every artist - indeed every citizen - must ask himself what role he wants the images he produces, consumes and exchanges to play in this new "regime of visibility".
