The film and the pictorial series included in the interdisciplinary work will be displayed in the show ARE.

 

 

The film will be developed in three moves: the sculpture without a base, the weightless sculpture and the invisible sculpture. The first move, entitled CUERDAS, sets out the freeing of the sculpture when it detaches from its anchorage point. VIENTO will lose its weight/gravity, in the second movement of the suite, when it elevates as a bird. To conclude, PERCUSION will transcend gravity in favour of invisibility, in an initiation psychedelic rite.

Some years ago, Teresa initiated a pictorial production seeking the freeing of the object, denying the physicality of the sculpture and with the desire of breathing life into her figures. In the OJOS DEL ANGEL she imagined a series of squares that represented the vision of an angel. The paintings of its irises became into the procedural element of the sculptural series, an attempt to give visual organs to sculpture through painting.

The development of the current series emerges from the conceptual transference between the structure, the pictorial image, the virtual image and the movement-image. This exchange has favoured the dissolution of the limits and has created transversal spaces for convergence and dialogue where we can reflect on the object. With LA PIEL DE LA ESCULTURA the author reclaims the idea that these pictures are not paintings, but sculptures. It closes a series in which trying to diminish materiality to the sculpture in the pictorial space, she gives physicality to the virtual sculpture in painting.
