Surface memory

Installation

2019

Santiago, Chile

Surface Memory is an installation that delves into the memory and dismemory of spaces and their uses. It is located in one of the galleries of the current Campus Oriente, which was originally built as a convent. A single artefact fills the original void of a doorway and a beam of light projected around the perimeter reveals the existence of an early wall. Another light, with a slight gesture on the texture of the surface, indicates the existence of an original opening in one of the walls of the gallery.
