[The Bay of Air]
Installation.
Latex balloon, cement, metal, lighting system, acrylic, mylar paper, foam, PVC, and inkjet print on paper.
Variable dimensions.
The Bay of Air is a landscape evoked by the human condition. It seeks to uncover what it means 'to be' through breaths and gaps interpreted in Maria Gabriela Llansol's texts. The installation is an environment that invites concentration on the intimate rhythm of breathing while contemplating the sensuality of an oval form, the light of dawn, and drawings on translucent pauses within an aqueous glow, suggesting the sensation of floating. The audience is invited to perform wearing some noise-cancelling objects.
The work was presented in the solo exhibiton “A Baía do Ar” as part of FOLIO Festival in Óbidos, PT.
It was awarded by the price “O Texto Vivo” by Fundação Millennium bpc.
