(“Look beyond what we see”)

Creation, direction and curation

2015

 

Installation in 200m2 space *

Indian ink on translucent treated paper.

 

 

It is an installation that recreates a forest, painted with Indian ink on treated translucent paper. The different layers create the impression of the bark of a tree, which allows light to cross, generating a very beautiful image.

​

The translucent paper, allow to see the silhouettes of the people that pass between them, reflected in them. This vision lets us see beyond and have the awareness of reflection: that we are one, and if we harm nature, we harm ourselves; if she dies, we dies too, and that's why we have to protect her and take care of her.

​

Traveling Exhibition - project site specific

​

Look beyond what we see is a literally itinerant installation: the forest enters a suitcase and travels with the artist, to be placed in different exhibition buildings and unconventional spaces in Spain and abroad, to spread is message. "Every time it acquires a new meaning, according to what inspires me in space, and every time it is a challenge for me as an artist, to use my creativity and my training as an architect, to create with the installation, a different environment adapting it to the new environment" says Rinat.

* The forest, which has a total of 50 trees, can be divided into groups of, for example, 9, 13 or 15 trees according to the exhibition space, ready to transport them in a small suitcase to any place. This way they can travel and "plant" in other places, creating forests.
