REFLEJOS DE CIUDAD
Solo Exhibition
Gallery Artinprogress GmbH, Berlin (Germany)
From 02/10/2001 to 01/12/2001
The city is presented in this work as an invented stage set, altered in scale and capable of evoking reality but also transcending it by demonstrating the duplicity of meaning between certain buildings or landscapes. Juxtaposed in mirrors under certain light, these buildings and landscapes acquire a new dimension that transports us to unimagined worlds. Mirrors, fragments of urban photographs, aluminum structures and light are combined into a personal and suggestive reality.
The cities reflected in the mirror can be at once any city or our own city, communal spaces through which we travel and which we appropriate and convert into our own personal, internal circuit. There is a studied desire to capture the urban essence and to create an infinite architectural archive that might serve as a universal reference for the restless observer.
