Álvaro Aroca Córdova solo show. When the Shadow is no longer there

from November 8th to December 13th

The approach to nature as a process of self-knowledge leads us to recognize our own limits and edges in relation to the environment. The moment we realize that our body is a projection of what surrounds us, we will understand the connection with the contour and environment.

The reconstruction of the edge in natural traces recreates that vegetal space, redefining the center that shines. This search leads us to recognize that dark and vegetal center, with a red border, that gives meaning to this reality.

Reconfigure to value the dark center

Skin cartographies are utopian spaces where there are no dimensions, these beings relate without a body. They are only feeling.

Cartographic beings

Organ-dark beings

Pyelographic beings

Organic-graphic beings

Border beings

At this point I can only define cartographic beings, they are those that are based on drawings of human interpretations that represent in some way a memory/vision/space/shadow/place of something in a vegetal/animal environment. The rest of beings are being formed according to my experiential feeling, my reflection on the past, the immensity of dreams I have about it and the aesthetic experience of wanting to be decolonized.
