Carlos Salazar-Lermont: Vanitas Vanitatum

Bruno David Gallery presents Vanitas Vanitatum. A video-work by multi-disciplinary Chicago-based artist Carlos Salazar-Lermont. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Vanitas Vanitatum presents a split-screen composition. On the left side, surgical and carpentry tools such as a saw and a hammer are shown, which Salazar-Lermont uses energetically but without purpose. On the right side, two assistants pierce the artist's skin to insert eyelets, which they then use, along with Salazar-Lermont’s shoelace, to tie a bouquet of flowers to his chest.
