(Español) Palpando entre arterias perdidas y el latido de objetos olvidados.
Elementos invisibles que dibujan un camino de migajas ante una mesa vacía.
Enmarcados, el extravío y la duda.
Clavados en la pared, el extrañamiento cósmico y la añoranza del mundo junto a fotos de viaje y antes curiosos.
Diferentes piezas en diferentes soportes -vídeos, fotografías, objetos- se generan a partir de un mismo motivo: el extrañamiento del mundo o bien el impulso por ver lo que es invisible. Porque los objetos percibidos varias veces empiezan a no ser vistos.

Punts Suspensius is a work made by photoetching techniques and procedures, which tryes to open a road to connect the birthplace (the nest) with the universe.
It starts from a photo of a kiosk of dwellings for birds. Strategies of attrition are used, through the power of chiaroscuro and the contrast between full and empty spaces.
The proposal reconsiders the initial value and condition of the object itself, the reason for which it was created. Once this object ceases to be useful, it no longer serves to any purpose. With this work, in a way, I wanted to pay tribute to these objects impregnated with previous experiences, which they also lose an inherent condition, the three-dimensionality. Crushed first and cut and separated later, the resulting fragments find a new way to organize themselves, as they become irreducible objects.
(The title is taken from the book “Work and days” by Hesiod (S.VIII a.C.)
In this book the Greek poet creates a singing to the honesty and to the work dignity, against the idleness and the laziness. Also he shows a mythological and poetic evolution of the humanity ages associated to different materials: Gold, silver, bronze, iron…
The exhibition holds
The installation “Gli strumenti dell’arte”
Drawings of the series “Sculptor constellation”
The installation calls up the extension of the own body, to a series of elements that become prosthesis of the inner need of making and they finish becoming facts; tools that once dumb and put on the solemnity of the shelf, push us to remember the use in a kind of resonances dialogue almost sacred.
