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 artifact fills the original void of a doorway and a beam of light projected around the perimeter reveals the existence of an early wall. A second light source, placed facing the wall at one end of the gallery, reveals with a subtle gesture on the change of texture of the surface, the existence of an original opening connecting this room with the next one, as part of the original enfilade layout of the convent.
Two opposite operations complementing each other; full and void as a literal transposition of the physical presences now erased, or as two ways of remembering.
