Through simple material transformations Tania Pérez Córdova creates works that speak to their own history and memory. A fence into a fence 7 is one of a series of works where the artist takes a used metal object, melts it down, and recasts it into its own form, preserving its shape while altering its essence. Through this act of undoing and remaking, the object loses its original function and becomes a fragile, contemplative form—quietly evoking impermanence and the shifting value we assign to familiar things.

This exhibition of the Colección Jumex includes recent acquisitions and works which have not previously been presented at Museo Jumex. Pieces from the 1970s to the present are brought together around conceptions time including scientific and belief systems, lifespans and momentary events, growth and decay. Tactility is common thread among the works, suggesting our register of time is felt rather than observed.
