Taka Fernández
The paintings, drawings, installations, and dioramas that make up Taka Fernández’s exhibition, “El fin del fin de la historia y la hidra venenosa” (The End of the End of History and the Venerated Hydra), create a narrative of future environmental mutation and destruction. In the world illustrated here, viewers find a new order in which giant animals and human hybrids predominate and where Alaska is a tropical jungle and Siberia is almost eaten by a malefic hydra.
