Installation
Plastic bags, lamp, and dust
160 x 200 x 5 cm
10 x 15 cm each bag

Object-desert emerges from a hole and a plastic bag that contains the dust extracted from the wall with a drill. Each plastic wrapping receives the hole’s residue and, when placed in a dark environment, is illuminated in a way that delicate shadows are cast onto the wall, forming a landscape. The dust extracted from the hole, typically discarded before the installation of paintings and objects in an exhibition, becomes the material for the emergence of a horizon on the white surface, invented mountains kept in the transparency of the plastic bags.
