Icaro Zorbar is continually inspired by the nature of human relationships. In his most recent project, Zorbar reflects on the notion of control expressed through the invention of machines, techniques and artifice, and the possibility of error that is intrinsic to these contrivances.
Icaro Zorbar usually works with technical equipment from the 1970's which is today obsolete, for example record and cassette players or portable TVs. Zorbar's reincarnation of obsolete technologies is done with affection and a bit of nostalgia for a technological moment that his generation might barely be able to remember.
For Algún día de diremos adios, he used a small Javelin monitor as a window, into a lost world, accompanied by Arvo Pärt's Für Alina .
*1977 in Bogota, Colombia | Living and working in Bergen, Norway
