[ISEA2022] Artists Statement: Marie-France Veyrat & Jaime de los Ríos — The Shape of Water (La forme de l’eau), 2020

Artists Statement

June 9 – August 21, Santa Mònica Art Centre, from the Beep Collection. Public Event.

Digital work printed on coated paper matte 250gr., ed. 5/30, 31x64cm.

The work is a fragment of a digital image extracted from an exhibition project entitled Poétique D’Un Instant that explores the infinity of a moment lived under a waterfall. Later, as a co-artist, Jaime de los Ríos joined the project, to create a macro project that redefines and expands the physical, intellectual and artistic dimensions of the work.

This work was made by Marie-France Veyrat at the beginning of the project. It refers in particular to the evocation of different textures and dimensions that flowing water offers.
