Relaciones Tamara Arroyo From June 6 to September 6 Santiago

"In my work there is an insistence on the habitability of spaces, which leads to questioning the "domestication" of the modern dweller, the consumption of certain formalizations and objects in the interiors of current dwellings, as well as an autobiographical reference that articulates a discourse on individual and collective memory.”

Through different formats, my work talks about how our environment and its architecture influence us, distinguishing between the lived, experiential or existential space that operates unconsciously, as well as the physical and geometric space. I also emphasize different intellectual states that occur when we relate to our immediate environment, such as the basic emotional need to belong to a place, the importance of the peripheral vision that integrates us into space and makes us see details and situations that sometimes go unnoticed, going from being mere spectators to being stimulated to other physical and tactile sensations. “The body as a place of perception, where our memory capacity would be impossible without a body memory, we remember through our bodies as well as through our nervous system.”
