Martin Soto Climent is a conceptual sculpture which reshapes everyday items through minimal gestures of recontextualization and balance in his work, bringing household items and vintage clothing into the gallery in simple and fragile arrangements in order to give new life to the detritus of human life. His clothing pieces are imbued with erotic tension of such intimate objects, recalling to mind the cheeky readymades of Marcel Duchamp and the Dadaists, André Breton and the Surrealists.
