Revelación espacial, 2012
Installation and performance
In an installation blurring the limits between sculpture, painting and performance, Nerea Santisteban reflects on issues of cross-contamination and feedback between our body and what is foreign to it. The artist examines the way in which the nature of a landscape moulds its inhabitants and vice versa. Santisteban views her practice as a regenerative activity that extends beyond the real time of the action performed in the exhibition space, articulating a shared, unique city that lives and breathes and that forces us to reflect on issues that have to do with art but also with sociology and urban planning.
The installation is a meditation on the passing of time. An experiential work where material, coupled with the space, seeks to regenerate other ways of life.
The matter dialogues with our surrounding space. It asks us to think about what our body is and is not, about the existence of feedback or cross-contamination. Spectators are invited to take part in the work, taking away a pair of socks and placing them in some abandoned space that, once photographed, can be incorporated into the installation as a collection of recovered spaces.
