Note

Note is a poem that let us go literally through the words: Single words are written on rice paper which is as thin that you could see the following word but back-to-front. The words become dimensional - get a back and front face and by turning the pages we can expierence this two sides.

Dutch Flat Things

“Man is an artifact designed for space.” – W.S. Burroughs

“As one moves, the surfaces of objects emerge and recede. And as that happens, one is also – possibly – aware of oneself. In normal situations, one could pick up the horizon (an important visual invariant that helps determine wether one is tilted, upside down or upright. One lines up one’s face, head, arms, legs, feet with an array of objects culminating in it: the horizon). The world looks upright or inverted, flat of deep because of this sort of alignment. When seen obliquely pages of a book become lines. Like sleeping animals, fallen sculptures or like a flat landscape seen from a a high speed train. This is all so near to closing the eyes. What appears then?” – Rodrigo Hernández

Sculptures

“This publication is a personal exploration of concepts proper of sculpture (scale, material, body, content, presence, etc.), and also on the concept of sculpture itself. It opens up questions about the limitation of the work of art, of the necessity of its materialization, and the frontier between image and text. Addressing these general problematics I analyze and present the environment around and inside my work. The drawings contained in the publication live in an in-between limbo world: they are sketches for future works, and new versions of half-done ones and things I don’t know if I already did or if I would ever do; if i had to define their general condition I would say it pendulates between made-unmade, possible-impossible, important-unimportant.”
