Description
Leyla Cardenas - Time Capsule

Technique: Sedimentary stone, veneer and wire

Artist Biography:

 

Venturing to understand how time passes, seeking to make visible both its fragmentation and its concurrence, is the impulse that has accompanied Leyla Cárdenas since the beginning of her career. Her works respond to the physical space, to the place, taking into consideration the architecture and the context of its surroundings, and generating, in turn, several levels of meaning. Among his interests lies the analysis of the palimpsestic texture of urban space; the city itself, understood as a node of times, spaces, interpretations, histories and memories. Among his latest exhibitions we highlight his proposal for the Espacio Odeón in Bogotá (2015), the project carried out after his residency at Q21, Museum Quartier in Vienna (2015) and the exhibition he held at the gallery Max Estrella in June 2016. In that one, she took as a starting point photographs of two urban buildings at the moment before their disappearance, in order not only to unveil the specter of time, but also to make it present by investigating its sediment, reflecting, in turn, on the "ruin of the image" or the inability of the image to show or represent what it refers to.
