Untitled, 2025
Pablo Delgado
installation, interactive
Telephone booths will be refurbished to create a box. A front cover with two holes will be installed: one hole allows a view inside, and since it's dark, the other serves for the mobile phone flashlight to illuminate the interior. A hole can also be used to view everything through phones + light.
The interiors will contain a surprise private message, whether they are made of paper and objects (collage), written messages, a shrine or altar of playful false idols or mirrors so people encounter a distorted version of themselves.

About the Artist
Born in Mexico City in 1978 to a family of graphic designers, he began painting as a self-taught artist in 2008, and later studied a Master's in Contemporary Art in London in 2010, a period during which he became defined by reductionism. His obsession with reducing his work to a minimal expression and the constant need to be less reflects the unsustainable global demand for resources and needs. As a counterpoint, minimalism and an emphasis on negative space become a primary means of expression. In solitude, the smallest is magnified. He works with mixed media, combining drawing, watercolor, acrylic, paper, and collage to produce on-site installations, urban interventions, and graphic pieces. He currently lives and works in Cuernavaca, Morelos.

We’ve launched a new way to support public art.
These works weren’t commissioned. They appeared because artists care—about their city, their neighbors, and the everyday spaces we share. Now it’s up to the public to respond. If a work speaks to you, support it. Help keep powerful art in public space, where it belongs.
