Space of Conquest I-II
Installation, Political / Social, Various materials, 85x60x100cm
Flag and drawing.
Flag: Photo printed on canvas 60 x 85 / 90 cm / Drawing: Pencil and watercolor on paper 25 x 37,8 cm
The frames or images of the conquest of the moon pertain to different moments, diverse pasts that go hand in hand –or they come together in a conflictive way– with the presence of the real flag in the gallery space, which, together with the resonating images of the conquest of the moon, functions as an element of the temporal connection between the image and reality. The image of the flag and the actual flag together activates spatial and temporal connections in the spectator's mind, almost the same way that Roland Barthes' "that was there" in "Camera lucida", in which here is reformulated through "that could not be there". Reality and fiction, real and imagined space –impossible– establish a dialectical game that grows even more complicated with leaps of time.
