Juxtapoz Magazine - The Weight of the Immaterial: Horacio Quiroz @ Galeria Yusto Giner, Marbella

"In the fractured terrain of contemporaneity, where the boundaries between the organic and the digital dissolve, we finally understand that identity is not inheritance but invention¹, not destiny but becoming, a space of struggle and reinvention, where every transformation is an act of resistance and hybridity constitutes the most authentic form of contemporary being. In `El peso de lo inmaterial´, Horacio Quiroz constructs a myth for our time, a posthumanist project"

"The exhibition rests on the paradox that the invisible exerts force upon the visible, transforming absence into a presence that reshapes our understanding of existence. Behind appearances lies the transcendent², and it is in that realm where the concept of ontological weight³ unfolds its full power: being acquires material density precisely through what remains hidden. From that invisible density of being, the works take form as cyborg subjects, mestizo configurations that understand hybridity as the essence of the contemporary subject."

"These creatures do not dwell on the margins; they occupy the center of a new narrative about what it means to have a body, consciousness, and desire in the 21st century. They dissolve the boundaries between the human condition and the machine, moving through a landscape where traditional taxonomies prove insufficient. But these forms are not merely aesthetic or technological combinations; they reflect a process of inner transformation, a gesture of opening toward the void from which something new may be born."

Identity is presented as invention and continuous becoming rather than inheritance or destiny. The exhibition stages a posthumanist convergence of spirituality, artificial intelligence, painting, and the self in liminal territory where the impossible gains material presence. The invisible exerts force on the visible, producing ontological weight: being attains material density through what remains hidden. Works manifest as cyborg, mestizo configurations that place hybridity at the center of contemporary subjectivity. Boundaries between human and machine dissolve as forms enact inner transformation and ritualized creation. Algorithms and AI trigger psychic echoes, making subjective presence essential to artwork and emergence.
