History of the Future is a collection of objects and images that are articulated around the idea that the past and the future are connected in a cyclical way. The works gathered in this project are based on the old aphorism:  learn from the past to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Loop, the future is written in history books.

Suso Fandiño is an artist who works from the emission of language through recovered materials, creating proposals that formulate a reflection on the relationship between memory and territory. His work is articulated through different artistic procedures, incorporating objects, collage and installation in his processes. Although a good part of his line of production could be situated in a first observation around the tradition of the objet-trouve, in reality it is never a question of found things, they have all been painstakingly sought after, and their discovery has almost always come after a bitter struggle. In the same way that classical sculpture has to extract the form from within the block of marble by extracting the surplus material, these works are the final scrutiny of a long task of discarding and searching.

This line of arguments and interests already present in the exhibition ‘Wunderkammer’, held at the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporáneo, CGAC in 2022, continues to be active in the use of the representations of the world through its documents, the maps. Most of them, today useless for the function they were designed for at the time, but active as historiography. The reconstructions made of this collection of cartographic souvenirs construct a vast semantic field open to experience and direct interlocution with the spectator.

Fandiño performs an altered restoration of these materials, offering another possible reinterpretation of the world and its attached history. These corpses, exhumed from the cemetery from their obsolete condition, become here the raw material with which to produce a shared narrative.

An invitation to active contemplation. A call for the co-production of a new scenography of life and time.
