San Cristóbal

Photo installation in the framework of the exhibition Art Contest at Espace Vanderborght in Brussels in 2017. In collaboration with Alexey Shlyk.

The installation consists of computer-generated photographic wallpapers, collages that are largely inspired by the creations of the Mexican architect Luis Barragan. The modernist architect considered architecture to be a "sublime act of poetic imagination” and was mostly known for his minimalist use of colors. Barragan had designed The stables of Saint Cristobal in the late 1960s for horse enthusiasts, but in the first place for the horses themselves. When the horses walk in front of the massive pink wall, the architecture turns into a natural stage.

On the occasion of the exhibition, a small >> leporello folder << (to be folded in 3) was published in edition of 1000.
