Genesis

The exhibition in hay, entitled Genesis, has two parts. The main part is The Installation, with a self portrait. It consists of a kinetic installation with a self portrait that presents the forms moving around an axis, symbolizing the dance of energies, the birth of substance. The clouds, the earth - everything is moving, persuading a dialogue with the entire universe. Substance arises from the collision between the fundamental particles and the energy produced by this collision. The self-portrait is part of this circuit and plays its own role in the cycle. The well and the water give life to it and purify it.

The second part gathers three distinct works entitled: Why do the bells ring?, Woman 1, and Woman 2. They are based on the analogy with the organic forms in nature and their details. Simultaneously the negative forms interpolate the positive ones, allowing space to enter through these gaps.

I have chosen the hay as the essential material of my sculptures because of its similitude with our lives: they are perishable and transitory; they pass away and come back. I intend to underline the contingency of our being and the universe’s one, by revealing the contingency of the work of art.

In this exhibition I am looking for the resembling of forms, the origin, the parts that make up the whole; and the whole that reflects itself in the parts. Sculpture represents for me the materialization of thoughts, actions, of the REAL world and the SUPRA-REAL one. It is a product that belongs to these two worlds, where the beholder is invited to take part. The latter will finally succeed to detach himself from the REAL and the MATERIAL. Thus, he will get to know another feeling that is not unknown, but only . . . forgotten.
