Mario García Torres' exhibition 'nada me han enseñado los años' features black-and-white oil paintings arranged in a storyboard-like fashion. A rusty orange carpet complements the artworks, leaving shoe prints from visitors. This exhibition focuses on Mexican cultural themes, particularly the lives of Salvador Novo and Julio Antonio Mella, integrating digital themes such as internet memes. Garcia Torres employs repetition and algorithmic distortion to examine truth and myth-making. The exhibition marks a significant shift in his artistic practice towards focusing on his homeland and cultural identity.
Garcia Torres articulates his vision for the exhibition, stating, "I thought of the exhibition as something quite atmospheric. It's built with a cinematic structure, so I wanted to create narrative space."
