MARÍA APARICIO PUENTES

The subject of thread has been with me since college. I remember, I once connected the trees in a park to show the space between them. In a workshop exercise, I measured the facades of some buildings and then unrolled different dimensions of threads over me to demonstrate physically the relationship between the body and the scale of architecture.

When I intervene with threads on an image, I work on another level—I am trying to demonstrate the special relationships that are generated in a moment (in a frame, in this case).

I like to intervene on black-and-white images. I think that it’s a more “neutral” base where I can work, and where the relations I seek to emphasize can be highlighted in a better way. Also, I feel I am not working with the original and with that, the need to keep its reality. I think that the essence of an image can be more interesting through the overlapping of information, which in this case can be the visualization of an invisible geometry.
