Project: Explorando el vacío
We want to explain a place, we want to portray a sensation, perhaps it would be correct to say a... mental state? an emotional situation? We wouldn't know how to explain it... What happens when the lexicon we have is not enough to externalise a feeling? If words are not enough to describe what is happening inside us, we have to look for other ways to express ourselves, and that is where artistic expression comes in.
Emptiness is a strange feeling. By strange we mean that it is inscrutable, not that it is alien to us, because one of the most interesting aspects of the feeling of emptiness is that, despite being a totally subjective experience, it is easily recognisable for everyone.
From Estudio La Gasayosa, we want to portray the emptiness, that place we have inhabited, lived, suffered, accepted... by means of an artistic installation through which we invite the user to enter that nebulous and uncertain space and explore that feeling, but in this case, from the lucidity and certainty of being just a visitor.
Project selected in the 1st Call for Artistic Residencies 2023
