Natalia Triviño's Open Studio


 

Power and control have been the foundations of my creative process. After attempting to interpret both concepts from the Latin expression ex-cathedra, literally meaning "from the chair", referring to an infallible, irrefutable position of authority, with the intention to understand the invisible and incomprehensible forces behind it, I started to hold the chairs with physical strings using the model of theoretical physics – String theory. I aim to explain the composition of our known universe by wavy, vibrational strings, constituting my first approach to the understanding of the fourth dimension (time-space) and the possibility of multiple dimensions. Strings reflect the invisible social structures that have been created to which we all want to belong and hang on to, evidencing our fear of solitude.
