The work of Alejandro Almanza Pereda is colored with a dark sort of humor. While his installations are typically built of ordinary objects and materials, they are arranged with a near morbid wit. In a way, Pereda’s work gives boringly safe everyday situations a sense of impending danger. For example the last piece featured in this post is composed of what appears to be a section of the side of the ubiquitous high-rise building. They’re the heavy price tagged windows of a luxury loft sans room or even people to enjoy the view. The piece is aptly titled No Room With a View.
