Re/Construction of Oblivion
Malditas Culebras

The Heliographic installation from the artistic collective Malditas Culebras was exhibited on Wednesday August 31st at the ´aceNITE titled Projections. This artistic collective was selected through the open call for the Semillero Program 2016.

The artwork consisted of installing a wall paper in the Dialogue Space, together with houses hanging from the roof of the Central Hall. These two parts established games between the two- and three-dimension, between lighting and shade, and presented a constant levitation both through the blueprinting wallpaper images and the almost-floating houses that refer to memories (in moments more enlightened and in others, more darkened). A work that arises as a call to awareness of the need to rebuild and sustain memory.

ARTIST STATEMENT

The image of memory takes shape as part of a process that leads from darkness to light, it is revealed in the blueprint paper in those seconds that lasts the shortest possible perception of light, where memory and perception are past.

The re-construction of oblivion. Shadows, plans, structures, diffuse, unarmed re-constructed image and memory support.

“Along the past thinking of my true existence, subjected to the fatalities of matter, I made bloom from a breath of the past according to my inner destinations. And dreaming of life, I naturally went to the ingenuous delight of this unreal memory.” Henri Bosco in The poetics of reverie, Gaston Bachelard
