ABOUT THIS PIECE

Priscilla Monge's works are normally minimalist in character and show us an apparent simplicity due to the use of materials; but then they introduce us to the powerful messages that each one of them represents.

Priscilla Monge's "boomerangs" originate from the concept of the return of hunting or war weapons. The boomerang is a weapon that after being thrown, if it does not hit the target, returns to its point of origin due to its aerodynamic profile. Her boomerangs are engraved with a series of insults that are thrown like a hunting weapon and are thus transformed into instruments of power and actions.

Could Monge have chosen better symbols to express the force of words with irony? The word is key in Priscilla's work and in this case she emphasizes verbal violence, totally transforming the environment.

About Priscilla Monge

Priscilla Monge’s multimedia pieces and installations explore love, aggression and the complexities of power. She provokes using a wide variety of visual languages (photography, film, object, sculpture) and as a hallmark, her art often plays with the language itself. Monge is one of the most accomplished artists of contemporary Costa Rica. Part of the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Seville and Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei, among others, Monge’s recognition extends well beyond her native country. She has had solo exhibitions in New York, Spain, Italy, Greece, Brazil, Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica.
