Noctorno - Silver on Black

For Said Dokins writing is a form of interpretation of existence where diverse cultural discourses converge; it is a political act that stresses the power relations that shape urban space, history, and the way we understand art. His work articulates the calligraphic discipline with the disruptive gesture of graffiti, tradition, and new technologies. With proficiency, he passes from the philosophical text to the performative action, from the phrase to the event; in the specific place and temporality, he investigates the movement of the bodies and the traces they leave in their transit.

These searches are evident in his large murals, his installations, and site-specific projects, which often include quotes and ideas from thinkers, texts that detonate the flow of collective memory, along with the dialogic processes that he establishes with the communities he interacts with: the exercise of exchange and mutual recognition become rituals that arise in doing together and in the evocation of shared wounds.
