Andrés Pereira Paz’s work regularly takes the form of textiles that explore the circulation of people and materials and how it affects national, regional and global imaginaries, revealing the construction of culture to be an ongoing and often contradictory process. His work examines postcolonial issues from the perspective of the Andean region, particularly from his hometown Bolivia, and from Peru, where the artist recently lived for a few years just before moving to Berlin. The artist frequently references Andean art history, both from the pre-Columbian and colonial periods. He plays with this background and produces creative interpretations of contemporary Andean culture: the results are sometimes humorous, but always witty and incisive. Delving in his work is quite rewarding as his references reach the rich nuances of the region's cultural history.
