“(…) As part of this installation, I extract a stone from a ruined building and place it in the exhibition space in order to draw attention to a reality, frustrated and undone. The title comes from a short story by José Lezama Lima and the stone is signed as if it were a ready-made (…) In this way, an eloquent language-spectator interaction is generated, eloquent enough to raise new questions and questions to History or Politics from art. “

Fragment of the interview ‘Carlos Garaicoa: annotations unfinished on an artistic practice’, made by Suset Sánchez to the artist. Published in the catalog “Carlos Garaicoa. Unfinished Order”, 2015.
