Santuario

Alba Matilla

5 April 2024

Santuario (2022-2024) is a project composed of a series of 3D scans that make up a virtual tour of a small floating world, together with a series of canvases developed in the LABoral exhibition room.

Alba Matilla has used photogrammetry to compose a fragmented reality that has a special interest, whether for its historical context, for having an aesthetic related to abandonment or terrain vagues, or for establishing a dialogue around deindustrialisation and landscape fossils, or for having an aesthetic related to abandonment or terrain vagues, or for establishing a dialogue around deindustrialisation and landscape fossils.
and the landscape fossils it leaves behind.
Thus protected under the digits, the ensemble is consecrated in a kind of sanctuary of abandonment and gives a divine and celestial character to these forgotten spaces, all of this being crossed by a pictorial intention and also constituting an immersive invitation to those who pass through it towards a place of refuge and reflection on painting that expands to new digital media.
