Memorials in a landscape of snow. Memorials integrated in botanical surroundings in the cityscape. Memorials lit by acid green moss and lichen and shaped by the decay of time. In his new series of works, Casper Aguila captures themes about monuments and the landscape surrounding them. Acting as aesthetic containers of collective and private memories, monuments convey meanings, legacies and historical narratives. Aguila seeks to detach the phenomenon of memorials from its inherited roots. We do not know who or what the memorials represent. Instead, his works present the viewer with scenes of anonymous sculptural artefacts open to future interpretation. As Aguila himself puts it: “The monument idea is open to all”.

​
