Tandem at the Magda Bellotti Gallery

Alexandra McCormick (Cúcuta 1978) recovers images from her contemplation that are reflected in a pond, and so, she rebuilds a time space where there is no start or end. A fight between a spider and a dragonfly, seahorses, the reflection of the clouds, the movement of the waves, all of that help to create images leading the viewers to tell their own atories.

 

The videos are screened on architectural private spaces including corners, stairs bottom and corners. The image is distorted creating a pictorial image echoing the image that reflected, breaking the rectangle of video format and generating a new poetics. A sound related to a frog in the pond resulted in the waves of water movement, accompanies these images generating a sense of infinity. The installation includes four videos, some of them screened on a surface with water in small containers and reflected on walls and corners. There is a hydrograph specialist who is continuously drawing the accumulation of water on the space and sound.

 

Luz Ángela Lizarazo (Bogota 1966), builds from an organic element, the furcula (small hang in latin language) or a kind of lucky bone, taken of the birds, which has the function of strengthening the thoracic cage to make the flight easier. Popularly, it is believed that if two persons simultaneously pull their ends, who finally keeps the largest piece will get the wish he made.

 

She creates from repetition images ranging from a safety net to a snake skin. The shape is repeated by echoing to the fractals. Despite and because these bones are so brittle, the fact of making some kind of fabric with them it is like is a poetic act. The installation is composed of different parts: wall of wishes, a large mesh installed on the wall, a market bag, and a snake.
