Mobilize is an exercise of coöperation between two friends. Starting from two pieces: Stabile (with conffeti) and Revolver (Universidad Nacional) whose formal results seem to be a coincidence yet point towards different meanings; Amalia and Otto began a conversation about the limits of a work, authorship, generosity and originality. The result of this negotiation is an installation entitled Mobilize. This work captures a fleeting moment of a cascade of falling papers that could be read through both Pica’s or Berchem’s logic. For Amalia Pica, Mobilize is related to her previous works in that it refers to her constant intrigue about painful bureaucratic processes that interrupt, in a successful attempt of control, the flow of contemporary subjects. In Otto Berchem’s case, Mobilize functions as a formal experiment in which his Revolver (National Museum) video becomes a sculptural piece, and allows him to continue to inquire about the visual characteristics of modern...movements in Latin America. From this piece, additional recent works from Pica and Berchem interlock and revolve around contradictions, common interests and visual inclinations.
