UMBRAL

Umbral refers to an area of passage, a state of transit, a portal or an entrance door, to the origin of an area of ambiguity in which something ceases to be what it was, to potentially transform itself into anything else. The project stems from the invitation to participate alone in the 19th edition of arte en la tierra, in which the aim is to generate a playground for artistic creation in seven locations, with Santa Lucia de Ocón and its heritage as the board. Liminal installations that, like a portal, transport us to sacred spaces: that were, will be or may be... Works that start from dialogue and direct action: with matter, form and together with neighbours of the village. Conversations that are transported to a physical, living and pulsating plane. Questions about the way of inhabiting, about the protection of heritage and about care, take shape through the reactivation of the space with assemblages of found elements and offerings, drawings, soap, intervened fabrics, bones, skins, plants, water, flour and bread. Thus generating my own database, which forges my identity with decrecentist approaches, inhabiting the space through play, error and human chance, involving the people of Santa Lucia de Ocón in the process and creation.
