Forma Informe
Light Installation. As Colectivo Suspeito
FORMA IMFORME questions the importance and meaning we attach to form as a defining element of something
or someone. Why do we tend to define the world based on what we see when everything is much more than
just the limits on which our eyes lie?
The subjectivity of form as a concept is portrayed: something that our brain produces with the information captured by the eyes in order to synthesize and simplify our apprehension of reality. At the same time, it can complexify the world by changing according to the point of view from which we look, or the being and feeling of the beholder.
What is its validity and why do we attach such significance to it? Why do we focus and limit ourselves to it when the thing we want to realize is so much bigger, more complex, more volatile than the way it appears to us?
What matters to know in depth the object of our attention is to look at it beyond its form: in its matter, in its reasons for being but at the same time in its absurdity; in your order and in your chaos. The form itself does not say everything, but still we could say that the form does not matter?
Something is always bigger and more complex than it appears.
