Gatherings unfold beneath intricately landscaped systems, where manufactured humidities intertwine their contingencies, weaving threads of tension. Here, voices are invited to resonate in symphony.
A monolith may transform into a painting, or an insect, crafted from steel, boasting a shiny surface reminiscent of styrofoam adorned with silver leaf. Reflecting sunlight, standing beside magnified representations of illuminated manuscripts where unicorns map time and gravity; and heraldry meets the building of memories. Across this surreal expanse, a horizon emerges from a gradient of color, pulsating through delicate layers of hardened paint, inhaling and exhaling, exerting pressure on lines of pigment that, like pages, freeze each time they meet our gaze.
Inside the garden, four mimes frame themselves, holding silence in their stillness. Their choreography echoes the elegance of Vogueing, creating a parenthesis that travels to another realm, encountering oneself. These Pierrot-like figures articulate a time steeped in repression, through movement, androgyny, makeup, and codified gestures. They can be considered as powerful metaphors for Painting and its role in mimesis, in times of profound violence and upheaval, where the gardens of our collective mind blooms beyond language.
