Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

Each work I do is an exercise in which I experiment with certain concerns that I have about my own being and my existence on this time. This is not only for the purpose of finding myself but also for seeking answers and generating reflections on those with whom I share my work, which allows the viewer to enter their own questions.

It is not an autobiographical work, however, I use my own experiences to highlight certain questions about our own existence, such as understanding being, time, reality, appearances, intimacy and the way of relating in these times. I explore with different media such as ceramics, weaving, video, performance and installation to carry out my plastic proposals.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

In my work I explore and try to solve questions about existence, how we interact among us and with the nature that surrounds us. I am a young artist and in this first stage of my work I am interested in addressing the idea of TIME. Until this moment I’ve explored the concept of present and past time with plastic and visual works, creating pieces that have gone through an experience of creation that gives me a closer approach of what it is to live time consciously.

My residency project consists in traveling to the future. Thanks to the time zone difference between Berlin (GlogauAIR) and Bogotá (place where I live) is 7 hours, this trip will advance me in time as this is measured by the position we have regarding the sun. It is clear that the trip will not allow me to know what will happen in Bogotá 7 hours later, but it is a situation in which I will be aware of the difference. This exercise of attention to the passage of time will take place from the departure of Bogotá and throughout the trip to Berlin. What time is it on the plane while flying? From the point of view of time accounting I will arrive in Berlin 12 hours after taking off from Bogotá, however, the local time will no longer be the same as in my place of origin. I will have jumped 7 hours ago. At the residence I want to ask not only about time but also about the space around me and look for strategies that establish connections between the past (Bogotá) and the future (Berlin). Despite having previous experiences traveling the world, until now I did not stop to observe carefully the nature of the time depending on the place where I am. This residence is then a great opportunity to experiment with simultaneity, time jumps and dead times.
