Away from Europe since the beginning of 2009, Aurel DC arrives by casualty in Manila in August 2009. He becomes Aurelio Mendoza and decides to stay. Why? "My hair is growing and my hands liquefy", he explains. There, Aurelio Mendoza spends most of his time experimenting the Silent Liquefaction of the Depthes (SLD, 2009, acrylic on canvas). Running After Words in Remedios Circle (RAW, 2009, acrylic on Figueras paper) will soon emerge from this first attempt to summarize precise movements and positions while the city is hit by tropical storms. The pieces define an uncertain and active geography of Manila : the climate convolutions running through its invasive and chaotic architecture evoke the unstable limits between solid and liquid conditions.
