Elisa Terroba - The Comet
Artist Biography: Elisa Terroba is an artist born in Arriate, Malaga in 1986, who is dedicated to dismantling language and books to create new structures and forms that generate discourses and visual poetry. The artist is interested in the deconstruction and subversion of traditional narrative structures to create new mutant forms that reflect the hybrid reality of today's digital society.Terroba uses different media and supports, from physical objects to digital formats, to create her works. Her books turned into objects and visual poetry narrate things different from their original plots, expanding and revealing the infinite variables of their content.The artist investigates the relationship between the book and today's digital society, where the book loses its status as an extension of memory and imagination, and becomes a reified object. Through her work, Terroba reflects on how human memory has shifted to other media and how this has affected the book as a physical object.Elisa Terroba's work is inspired by the avant-garde and the most contemporary digital art, and establishes a dialogue between past and present. Her plastic language is influenced by elements of industrial design and a very careful technical resolution. Elisa Terroba's works are part of the collections of important institutions such as the Documentation Center of MUSAC in León, the National Library and Casa de Velázquez in Madrid, and the Contemporary Art Center Fundación Antonio Pérez in Cuenca.
In "La Isla" and "El cometa", Terroba generates a trompe l'oeil, a fiction with which we can imagine the explosion of a library where the shrapnel is books. fiction with which we can imagine the explosion of a library where books are the shrapnel. They go through crystals with an expansive movement of knowledge, placing themselves in a transversal reality, a permanent transit that speaks of the crossing or the intermediate space between the physical and digital book. It is this place, straddling the two spaces, that the artist is interested in inhabiting with her works. "An infinite crossing. The idea that they exist on only one side is as illusory as the trompe l'oeil of the piece itself" (Nerea Ubieto).
