The Difficulty of Representation, Chicago, 2026. © Luis Urculo.
“The Difficulty of Representation” is a visual essay composed of illustrated voice notes that trace frustration, a projected future, boredom, or a memory that bursts into consciousness.
The video piece works from the façade itself as a key support, continuously transforming.
A collage of possibilities and ideas in constant mutation.
