TEMPERAMENTS is part of “Renaissance”, a collective exhibition at Magma Gallery, Bologne. In which Borondo expresses his view and fascination for The Four Temperaments theory. The theory tried to explain the behaviour of the human kind, by making a division of 4 humors or temperaments, each one connected to a different corporal fluid, season or attitude. Our temperament is infused in the physical and psychological features of a person, defining our personality.
The research was focused on the idea of what is inherited, what is innate, what is not learned, working over that and at the same time, questioning its existence. Once he was working on this, his focus shifted to another interesting idea: The human necessity of containing the complexity of the mind in small drawers. An attempt of organizing the chaos within existence, cutting and limiting it to rational concepts that try to explain the whole.
From this idea, He created these four “boxes”, containing a personal interpretation of the Four Temperaments, representing their complexity and intention of containing what is not possible to contain.
