Through processes like transgression, confrontation and hybridization Renato Garza Cervera’s work questions and generates a series of reflections upon contemporary culture and related themes of political, social and aesthetic nature. By reviewing established ideas which become inoperative, unsustainable or decadent the critical practices which Garza Cervera proposes and engages with participate in a wider geo-political series of ethic cultural heritage deconstruction, reconfiguration and re-designing mechanisms.
