Possibility of the Immposible (Proposal for a Labryinth)

Possibility of the Immposible (Proposal for a Labryinth)

In the mid-2000s, Moreno purchased 5.6 acres in the desert of Culberson County, Texas and documented front-yard fences across economically diverse neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Growing up in South Texas, he had never encountered fences in front yards. The project investigates how fences both define and divide space, marking property, signaling social boundaries, and shaping neighborhood aesthetics, while functioning as symbolic monuments in the landscape.

Moreno drew on the concept of the labyrinth to imagine a space that resists simple order. Fences, like labyrinths, create pathways and limits that structure movement, attention, and perception. By translating these forms into a proposed labyrinth, the work makes visible what fences normally naturalize: the organization of social hierarchy into physical space.

Possibility of the Impossible (Proposal for a Labyrinth) proposes a space in which visitors can trace paths, encounter unexpected connections, and experience the spatial and social logic of fences from within. The project remains a proposal but has been realized as a wall installation, revealing the constellation of influences and traces the proposal addresses. Rather than presenting a standard digital print, Moreno explored how an architectural concept could be experienced spatially. This version was exhibited on May 9th, 2013, at Lugar A Dudas in Cali, Colombia, in No Salir del Laberinto (To Not Leave the Labyrinth), curated by Julio García Murillo and Luis Mosquera.

In 2020, the work was included in a multi-site exhibition spanning Berlin and Mexico City, Objects Before and After The Wall, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The exhibition was accompanied by a bilingual catalog featuring Moreno's first published essay in Spanish, "Towards a (de)Composition of (dis)Orientation / Hacia una (des)composición de la (des)orientación."
