CABINETS old glass life of its own
"Things fragile protected by glass walls."
The enchanted world antique cabinets starting point of the artist's appropriation of objects and their belongings.
Huge jewelry boxes, glass feelings, dishes, tables, saints, toys, dolls. They are "objects captured and jailed through the centuries, like a diary, like a secret that is revealed."
Electronic assemblages that at first glance appears to be a photograph. The scenes set in cupboards start from images of objects photographed and digitized. There are dozens of layers of images that add up and produce a final image only - full of information and feelings.
The metamorphosis between objects and people around the crystals, "as if these objects and dolls take the feelings and ways of people and assume the identity of their owners."
The character metamorphosed league toys of the feelings of more adults than children that would be used. Because they were "saved for when they were old enough to play, but when you get the expected age, interests already are others. "
The work requires a sense of unattainable, emphasized by the German expression "kammer Wunder" chamber of wonders, used since the 16th century to denote a collection related to the environment. The concept is represented in toys that are never used, but also in all other objects: China and the legacy of loved ones, gifts, antique dolls that belonged to the ancestors of crystal. All objects "that rarely can touch," but "very special dates, which is so important to never come" to happen. "
