STATEMENT
The Project consists on the creation of colour inflatable that fills up the space erected by others, providing them of a new identity. A simplification of the space that unifies shapes and textures becoming one, generating a different atmosphere. The balloons are constructed from regular patterns, adjusting each inflatable to the characteristics of each location. The concept works on the relation between the full and the empty, generating a dialogue with the space we inhabit temporarily. Amending the boundaries and fitting the place, the viewer experiments from inside a new ephemeral space. When the inflatable swell, itself use the lines of the building to acquire the shape. The colour will vary depending on the context. The balloon draws new shapes through creases and volumes. We propose continuity projects that allow us to investigate and show our work. Developing an open proposal for collaboration, establishing a dialogue with another interventions, enable to connect with our public. As a references, Christo’s and Jean-Claude’s recognized work. Moreover, we contemplate at the same time contemporary creators, as Rachel Whiteread, Kimihiko Okada, Doris Salcedo, Hans Hemmert, Michael Landy, Tomas Saraceno y Ernesto Neto, among others.
