Existe un umbral cuya línea invisible se encuentra trazada ante nosotros, y parte de los códigos no hablados de nuestra existencia es que no debemos cruzarla. Pero una vez que se atraviesa, en el camino que allí recorremos, dependemos de herramientas que no solíamos utilizar: unas tienen que ver con el saber andar por paisajes perdidos, el hacernos amigos de nuestra sombra y, al mismo tiempo, vivir algún tipo de metamorfosis. Montemayor trabaja a partir de su propia historia emocional que es parte importante de sus investigaciones plásticas. Existe un evento perturbador, el cual nombra y le da forma desde ángulos distintos: el secuestro de un ser querido. Sus piezas construyen el trauma a partir de varios ejes: la pérdida de visión, utilizando figuras de eventos familiares transformados por el desenfoque, y la creación de mapas del espacio del secuestro descritos de memoria por la víctima... para después entender que los recuerdos eran ficticios.

There is a threshold whose invisible line is drawn before us, and part of the unspoken codes of our existence is that we should not cross it. But once we do, along the path we traverse there, we depend on tools we were not accustomed to using: some involve learning to navigate lost landscapes, making friends with our shadow, and at the same time, undergoing some kind of metamorphosis. Montemayor works from his own emotional history, which is a significant part of his artistic research. There is a disturbing event, which he names and shapes from different angles: the kidnapping of a loved one. His pieces construct the trauma through various axes: the loss of vision, using figures of family events transformed by blurring, and the creation of maps of the kidnapping space described from memory by the victim... only to later understand that the memories were fictitious.
