On Tiempo en la Ciudad de Lima by Max Hernandez Calvo

El Tiempo en la Ciudad de Lima places special emphasis on paper sculptures; the piece is made from multiple layers of paper,forming large blocks like walls. Matter of fact, these pieces refer to the actual walls of the city: their worn surfaces evoke old walls that accumulate layers of paint, plaster and earth, while the edges of the works - formed by overlapping posters, suggest an “urban stratigraphy” that condenses the commercial, cultural, social, and political history of the city in the cross-section of countless advertisements which have been overlaid over the years.

The artist highlights the relationship between paper and construction in these pieces. which include formwork structures that contain or support the blocks of paper, as if they were a cast in cement.
