Formae viventium (Forms of the living) is the Latin phrase used by the artist to refer to the classification system of living beings used by scientists and naturalists since ancient times. Language infers a recognition of the world and through it the subjects build a relationship with it mediated by descriptive abstractions that appear here fictionalized to think about the power of the living in terms of breadth and complexity as an exercise in observing the now uprooted human species. of the central place from which he has traditionally observed his environment and his congeners.

(At I/O) "...the artist proposes spatial situations that account for the relationships woven between subject, environment and context, seeking to open the possibility for other looks and listening, optics and hearings that distort, doubt and question that shared understanding that is usually understood as existence. As an immersive installation, the grouping of these three-dimensional pieces insinuates a utopian universe, a non-existent galaxy that spatially and aesthetically leads the viewer to gravitate towards an atmosphere that moves him out of his daily habitat, that displaces him, overflows him and leads him beyond his time, to a hitherto unknown place."

This was the first individual exhibition of Jesús Moreno-Granados in Caracas, Venezuela, the last individual exhibition held at CELARG before the cultural devastation of the country.
It is worth highlighting the first sound installation by Moreno-Granados, “Electrópico” a key proposal in the development of his future sound art and sculpture artwork in which he intuitively approaches Zen philosophy through an innocent, dilettante attempt to the japanese Ikebana.
