The first day
Recoleta Cultural Centre
Cronopios Hall
Buenos Aires, 2016
"Three large installations comprise the exhibition The first day. The issues the artist raises follow certain aesthetic constants that have persisted throughout their work for nearly twenty years. These recurring structural elements could be summarized as: optical games and their paradoxes, the construction of forms that unfold and emphasize the space they occupy, the utilization of technological resources, and the direct engagement of viewers to stimulate their physical, perceptual, and interpretive participation".
—Adriana Lauria (extract)
"Specially conceived for the central nave of the Cronopios Hall, Untitled (The first day) stages a labyrinthine interpretation of the mystery of creation that demands deciphering. A contemporary reading of Genesis, the work technologically reenacts the differentiating emergence of light - which is, in turn, discerned through language".
—Adriana Lauria (extract)
"A large-scale version of Anamorphia: strings displays a unique geometric projection, where anamorphosis combines with the luminescent properties of certain materials under ultraviolet radiation. Through this technique, an ideal design—reminiscent of utopian architectures—materializes weightlessly like a fey apparition".
—Adriana Lauria (extract)
"In LuzAzul—part of the Chromatic Palindromes series—the work explores the interplay between the reversibility of certain words, the presence of the object they designate (in this case, chromatic quality), and the instability of sensory and cognitive experience, dissolved in a play of appearances, disappearances, and reflections".
—Adriana Lauria (extract)
