Descripción de la Exposición
The hypothesis of an absent present – is future. The skin that folds with space. The space that is being and time, hides the me, opens the vacuum, break, slot and shows its most intimate part. The imperative of wanting to show or appear is doubt. Anything can happen – the non vision, the alienation, the window to the infinite – it’s the universe in ME.
Raquel Melgue (1985; Oporto, Portugal)
ME is about an imaginary space, unlimited where actions take place. Those actions develop themselves in several sceneries, where their constitutive elements define the field of action of the operative beings, characters in ME. Their purpose is fictional, the characters move themselves in an ambivalent game inside of what we can see and of what isn’t present.
The occultation of the view and of the characters expression by their adventitious heads, fosters this detachment from the real world. The artificial elements, in the case of their heads, although they constitute an extension of themselves, promote their identity deconstruction by eclipsing/covering the expression that characterizes them – annulment of the identity-being.
The sets as all their constitutive objects therefore allow, the detachment of a first reality, through the dissociation to the elements of the common. In the same way, the gesture, the body, the sensuality that promote the actions are so anthropogenic from the characters, that create a barrier between the real and a possible non-reality.
The spectrum is the light in ME.
