Ana Tiscornia

 




Like happenstance remnants of lives made visible through demolishing buildings, fragments of wallpaper, cupboards, fireplaces, Ana Tiscornia's paintings give us a glimpse into other lives, a history, a character an archaeology of humanity. Thank you Dom.


The architectonic language in my work is a tool operating at different levels, and it includes the existence of a precise program as well as the absence of such a program. Only I do not use it to indicate constructive will but rather to emphasize the possible existence of something programmed behind the destructive principle. Or, if anything, to establish a tension between these conflicting principles. In general, my work originates precisely in the fractures of the socio-cultural fabric of contemporary society. Although I do not often make this origin evident, I do try to render what you term the ‘chaotic force’ visible.

In fact, they are mainly habitable spaces which had to be abandoned, or spaces which were once habitable but are no longer so because they have been destroyed; or virtual spaces, enunciated by a plan, a drawing of the space. Let us say that the spaces I am concerned with are those existing before something is built or after something has been destroyed. Ana Tiscornia
