Watch Video ︎
Escribir en telaraña (Writing on Spiderwebs’) gathers a group of line drawings or “short stories” on a surface, which can be explored from multipled directions, and is overlayed with a colony of moving ants.
Among the themes that recur in the work are those of non-verbal languages, the ambiguity of sense perceptions, and certain fictions that caricature the limitations of a human being’s reading capacity. Just as the images can be read as autonomous stories, the way they are brought together suggests the possibility of other narratives.
The whole as it is displayed on the page challenges our ability to read as a faculty built on hierarchies that range from specialized fields of knowledge to what we take in through our senses in everyday life. At the same time, the distribution makes a nod in the direction of the grid layout whereby our reading experience is administered on certain digital platforms.
