Born in Chile in 1972 now a resident of New York, Iván Navarro uses light as his raw material. Turning everyday objects into electric sculptures and transforming the exhibition space by means of visual interplays, his work appropriates the language of minimalism in order to develop understated political and social criticism. Having grown up under the Pinochet Dictatorship, Iván Navarro is haunted by questions of power, control and imprisonment, both physical and psychological.
