"Transfigured Encounters" is a sculptural installation designed as a "specific site". It takes place in the two rooms for contemporary art of the OSDE Foundation. "AND. T. " investigates the morphological, topological and symbolic transformations that occur when continents and contents interact and modify each other. The architecture of the rooms intervenes like a wall creating an interior where a three-dimensional drawing is developed that is empathetically generated to the dominant lines of the space. The viewer transits transforming the voids into full ones, taking on a role of observer and observed. His body and his perceptions are shaped by sculptural elements. The space as the viewer walks through it is built like a labyrinth and it is the observer himself who is entangled, cut off or surprised by a fortuitous encounter with another.
Wicker, a material that I have been using since 1990, allows me to think of constructions based on the associative work of the different units that are the rods. This system builds forms and spaces, creates different morphologies and attractive sensations to the visitor according to the procedures with which the different units are associated. As it is a very flexible material, it is possible to generate continuous curves and lines creating organic forms in space 1 that are passed through as if entering an organism. The perception generated by the second space is different, built by small pieces of wicker that create a less welcoming, more textured appearance, which was first made as a large solid cube of small wicker rods and then roughened, carved in this way creating a void for where you can walk.
