“Such extensive and limitless views are as pleasing to the imagination as are the speculations of eternity and infinity to the understanding.” J. Addison, The Pleasures of the Imagination (1711) “I can’t see the end of me My whole expanse, I cannot see” Meat Puppets, Oh me (1984) Estuary This series of drawings dedicated to the estuary of the River of the Plata, explores its physical, conceptual and imaginary spatiality. His images start from the layout of this close and familiar territory and delve into its representation or fiction character, to exalt the poetics of its limits. The immensity then blurs its shapes and confines and the horizon reconciles the expanse of water and the opacity of the river, with a mysterious and uncertain flow. Stripped landscapes that call for solitude and silence and everything is horizon and everything is water and sky, in which the fallacious stillness becomes change and movement. The presentation invites the contemplation of images that propose a mirror character. They appeal to a gaze that explores the vastness of the landscape ahead, like Caspar Friedrich’s monk, and enters the disturbing immensity that flows from the self. That single extensive territory whose mysterious lines invite you to a moving meditation: to get lost and let yourself be carried away by the murky and ungraspable immensity of the interior landscape.
