Undocumented immigrants often describe feeling invisible in their new countries, as the significant parts of their day-to-day existence must be kept below the radar of those who can threaten their livelihoods. Colombian artist Rafael Gomezbarros touches upon this theme in his installation series "Casa Tomada," in which giant sculptures of ants take over large, public spaces, confronting viewers with what they often overlook. "Casa Tomada" has previously appeared on the Colombian capitol building in Bogota and several art fairs in South America and the Caribbean. Its latest iteration is at Saatchi Gallery in London for their current exhibition, "Pangea: New Art from Africa and Latin America."
