Anatomy
Artist: Arantxa Etcheverria
July 3th - July 25th. 2014
The recent work of Arantxa Etcheverria positions itself where three fields intersect: design, photography, and video.
The design element of the video can be seen in the arbitrarily superimposed viewpoints of the ALERT studio, representing the temporal possibilities of the space. In this way, space itself is ‘dissected’ architecturally, according to unspoken rules, where the vanishing points are overlaid in transparency, to a variety of forms. The white square becomes the symbol of the white cube gallery and the concept of architecture itself, while the black lines represent the materialization of the spirit of the space itself.
The video work is a dance of lines and contours, accompanied by the cadence of the txalaparta, a Basque musical instrument used in Pagan rituals.
The photographic self-portrait at first appears to be a dreamlike one, but actually represents a state somewhere between sleeping and waking.
The space becomes a vivisection within a temporal vacuum, or rather, in a space disconnected to time.
