Is a photographic project, that came from sculptural works with one or several objects that suggest a revision of the universal culture. Hundreds of elastic leagues are set in the objects, interlacing their qualities and compressing the matter that forms them. They became objects with characteristics different from the vision of the original piece. Thus this proposal that forces to visualize and to understand the piece from two aspects. On the one hand, the assembled vision of the three-dimensional world from the physical pieces, material figures by means of elastic elements; and on the other hand, the photography like a unique and singular point of view, when appreciating objects that are perceived static (analogous the gravity like other universal forces, that exerts pressure-tension in all the bodies of the universe). The pieces indicate to the physical edges in a double game between idea and perception. The ephemeral nature of the works as well as their temporary condition, raise the execution like part of a transformation.

I explore the hibridization between technology and representation, the preoccupation for the creative mechanical processes in the art, supplanting to the ‘robot’, by taking its position. The pieces are conceived to be made of mechanical way and other people’s personal experience, nevertheless, the emotions end up colonizing the position returning to the Human field. I interpret the creation of lines and its excessive proliferation in all variants and textures. |
