Devastation never goes out of style.

"Follow the leaders" represents a corporate city in ruins, a ground zero to reflect on the drift we face with the current political and power models whose scenario poses inhospitable landscapes for the future: wars climate change, energy poverty etc.

We have launched a short documentary entitled Deserto Verde, a project we have been working on for a year and which addresses, through small format sculptural work, the concept of green desert and greenwashing with the placement of several installations on Illa das Esculturas and in the streets of Pontevedra.

Click on the profile link to watch it!

As a result of the residency we managed in September last year, this documentary focuses on the process of creation and placement of the sculptures, while Isaac tells us about his work, his way of intervening and understanding public space and his concern about the policies that lead to the loss of our natural heritage.

History is on our heels, following us like our shadows, like death. —Marc Auge It is very sad to experience the mistakes of history repeating themselves over and over again. I feel terrible frustration about the current situation in Ukraine, in Europe and in the World. We need to change the course of history because we are its present. We need to shake off the dust of the past and think about a peaceful future. Images are parte of my series 'Follow the leaders'.

MAN PACKED IN SHOPPING CART 55 X 27 x 43 cm 2021 Technology has absorbed us in such a way that if something doesn't work, we are the ones who feel broken. This sculpture is part of my new solo show "24/7" @scgallery_bilbao 24/7 alludes to our capacity for work and complete availability to continue sinking into that crevice called progress. Our capacity to build chasms seems to have no limits. Now that our living room has become an extension of the factory, we can continue with the production without any interruptions. We are resigned not to waste time. Our free time has become a pause between tasks. We seem to feel bad if we do nothing. We check our mobile phones again and again as if each notification were a balm for our uncertainty. Work has become the epicentre of our lives. The exhibition will be open until 28 January 2022 ⬆️More info link in bio ⬆️ #isaaccordal #cementeclipses #scgallery #twentyfourseven #packedwithlove #slave #shoppingcart #scrap (at SC Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/isaaccordal/p/CYWMBciIaF8/?utm_medium=tumblr

This installation entitled Telearbeit reflects on how the home has become a place of work and confinement. Telework could be another step in contemporary slavery to keep us productive 24 hours a day.  For some it is a slice of freedom for others a kind of condemnation. The family, the school, the factory, the hospital, the prison... the so-called "disciplinary institutions" described by Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish. Does our 'sweet home' synthesise all these places of confinement? What is certain is that in the past year we have seen the shadow of the bars. Kunstlabor2's proposal was to work with the furniture of a former hospital, where the space is currently located, and I chose a filing cabinet to turn its spaces into small confined offices.  This installation was realised last October at @kunstlabor.munich. Many thanks to Boris, Luisa and Tamara for their help in making it possible. Many thanks to the whole team. @kunstlabor.munich @mucamunich #telearbeit #telework #cementeclipses #isaaccordal #sweethome #kunstlabormunich #office #relax #munich (at KUNSTLABOR) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWvcnSpo2Pu/?utm_medium=tumblr
