Sonia Andrade, Cristina Íscar
Taking the elegance and poetic power of the sea as main elements, Andrade subverts the role traditionally imposed on women. From observed objects to subjects that open their eyes to forgotten realities. Images that, when fading out, reflect a world whose sensitivity is mutating. Scenes of a dreamlike quality that borders surrealism so as to show the new order of things.

Sibila
Carla Andrade
Sibila leaves Constantinople for Naraío to spend his last days consumed by melancholy due to the evil of love produced by his twin brother Silván. Starting from one of the multiple narratives that in a syncopated way follow one another and interpolate in the story of Álvaro Cunqueiro "El Caballero", we recreate a small story through a refined aesthetic and based on the ellipsis to counteract the obvious vacui horror that characterizes his work .

Carla Andrade
We wake up in Paris, at the end of 2013, and immerse ourselves in a symbolic journey, through a subjective nature, which directly experiences reality, without analyzing it. Abolition of thought to be replaced by consciousness and unconsciousness. Intuitive Scan Through the variations of the sound and alterations of the image, we experience the transience and mutability of the meaning and formal perception of it. It is about penetrating directly into the object itself, and seeing it from within. In this case, the cups of eucalyptus, of which we see his life vibrating within itself. Each moving image, in a unique way, has its own communicability, and there is communion between isolated acts.

Bocanoite
Carla Andrade
Water and night. The night flows through the water as a substance that cannot be grabbed, fugitive and mysterious, which changes places every time the camera focuses it. Carla Andrade shoots the lake with that feeling, between expectant and contemplative, which nourishes her wish to see and hear all that is out of the scene: the transformation of the night that, like a rumour, follows the course of the water.

Magma
Carla Andrade
Drops of fire that create a universe of magmatic asteroids. Liquid and gravitational reality. Cosmic energy. Atomized Rhythm. Neurons of a liberated unconscious. Elimination of the idea of "soul" as "everything", reducing it to the condition of units of energy in perpetual process, elementary particles, without duration, that arise in perfect dependence. The "I" as a stream of units of force in ceaseless becoming that procures the illusion of an entity. Karmic chain. The idea that eternity resides in the transitory, the eternal belongs to it instantly. Eternity not as infinite duration but as absence of temporality. Universe of a mobile, procedural, relational and interactive nature of everything that exists. Here the "object" is conceived as something that is constituted, completed, lost and recovered with the vibrating rhythm of a universe in constant production.

El paisaje está vacío y el vacío es paisaje
Carla Andrade
The Chilean Atacama desert provides the backdrop for a series of static shots that foreground emptiness. The natural setting becomes a mental space. The artist systematically studies material limits, the invisible, the unintelligible. She explores emptied landscapes as allegories of sensory deception and metaphors of fragility.
