Argüelles Vigo's work focuses on the impact of art historical narratives and how people relate to cultural objects. In this way, he has explored figures of the Peruvian colonial period that hover in the possibility of what can be achieved after defeat. For Argüelles Vigo, global competition is part of a new form of coloniality. From a country that has always been in second place due to its power relations, he invites the viewer to resist today's dog-eat-dog world and to recognize, from our humble position as runners-up, that in the midst of a global crisis it is necessary to imagine new, less hierarchical perspectives.
