Pablo de Laborde Lascaris

Proyecto H presents Cómo encontrar una aguja en un nido de serpientes by Pablo de Laborde Lascaris.

Pablo de Laborde Lascaris is a Mexican sculptor, trained as an artist in the United Kingdom, with a background in Sociology and Anthropology. Although he defines his practice as mixed media, he constantly returns to wood and cardboard for his models. Conceptually, he engages with themes such as materiality, play, and transience, using them to question the static reputation of sculpture.

Proyecto H is pleased to present Como encontrar una aguja en un nido de serpientes, a solo exhibition by Pablo de Laborde Lascaris, opening on September 4, 2025. This new series of modular sculptures coils around the invisible: the threats we carry, forgotten tenderness, and voids that pulse with memory. With a practice focused on process and material experimentation, de Laborde Lascaris draws on the sensibilities of artists like Richard Deacon and Claes Oldenburg, embracing contradiction, scale, and the poetic transformation of industrial and domestic forms.

The exhibition continues his fascination with snakes—not as zoological creatures, but as metaphors for what moves silently: anxiety, the unspoken, the unpredictable. Cast in aluminum using sand molds, these headless and tailless forms evoke the expression “a snake in the grass,” a threat always lying beneath calm surfaces. Their curves speak of discomfort, of internal knots that activate when language falls short.
