Manolo Bautista’s creative work is based on the almost unlimited technological possibilities in the field of digital image processing and animation, as well as computer-aided construction of three-dimensional objects. For Bautista, intense use of digital intervention represents the lynchpin of a multi-perspective working method that demonstrates idiosyncratic aesthetics which characteristically de-contextualise whatever is portrayed.
Bautista’s works lead the viewer through weird scenarios dissociated from reality into transitory spaces and narrative places where the uncanny is a constant presence, along with humour and fine irony, and where even what actually exists appears to be dominated by the caprices of the infinite virtual world. Recently, Manolo Bautista’s prime focus has been on interaction between architectonic spaces, or rather their simulation, and video projections; he employs complex virtually animated structures for this purpose.
