Description: Mental Blanks reflects experiences shared by countless immigrants through a multi-channel video installation. Each screen shows nearly static photographs intervened by the artist. Memory as a dynamic; reconstructive process explores the ephemeral nature of remembrances rooted in homeland; alongside desires to recreate them elsewhere using available resources. Pérez La Cruz gathers and manipulates vintage photographs as vestiges of life left behind.
