In the spaces between things...

I wanted to talk about routine, about our daily life. To give it a more poetic and aesthetic sense, thus turning it into something more bearable and easy to handle. As if routine didn't seem like routine. And in that effort, I found things!!! Yes, things, all those objects, clothes, junk, waste... that share space and time with us. They are silent witnesses of our days followed by other days, days full of problems, disagreements, hopes, fears, joys... And I also discovered a brief fragment of the book that I was reading at that time and that, without looking for it, accompanied me and helped me in the construction of this exhibition. In "Sunset Park" (Paul Auster, 2010) one of the characters in this novel was Ellen Brice, a painter, she finds herself lost in her life, lost in her art and her days and above all, and most tragically, being a painter, lost "in saying nothing". He then understands that he must start over and says:

“I wanted to paint pictures that evoked the quiet wonder of pure objectuality, the sacred ether that breathes in the spaces between things, to express human existence in a meticulous rendering of everything that is out there, beyond us, around us...”

I mean, to speak and to tell, even if I am surrounded and buried by those objects that overwhelm me in my daily life. I am still here in my routine, determined to fight not to say anything. Determined not to lose myself...
