This series appears in the one-man exhibition at the Arte Nuevo gallery in November and December. The vigorous introduction to the catalogue, written by the artist Victor Grippo, points out that the works distance themselves from orthodox sculpture, notes their resemblance to entrails and the consequent reference to the animal nature of the human, which gives prominence to the concepts of life and death. He also remarks that, to the detailed constructive act denoted by the objects, Gómez “adds sectioning as a gesture, as everyday repetition, as an everyday abuse of pain”.
The last paragraph of an article written by Julio Sapolinik about the exhibition is particularly moving, as it clearly alludes to one of the methods of extermination –the “flights of death”, in which people were thrown off planes into the river or the sea– employed at the time by the state terrorists governing Argentina: “This surgical sculpture feeds on the idea of life, of survival, as afforded by the surprise of finding ourselves alive upon returning from a low flight over death”.
