Desplegada a lo largo de sus distintos niveles, la exposici\u00f3n re\u00fane escultura y una instalaci\u00f3n inmersiva de suelo para crear un entorno continuo en el que las obras se suceden a trav\u00e9s del espacio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una flor florece por un instante. El m\u00e1rmol recuerda millones de a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La segunda exposici\u00f3n individual de Comte en Albarr\u00e1n Bourdais comienza en alg\u00fan lugar entre dos escalas. Una es fugaz y estacional; la otra, geol\u00f3gica y medida en el tiempo profundo. Una es \u00edntima; la otra, inconmensurable. En el centro se encuentra una contradicci\u00f3n sencilla: la flor, imagen de vida, belleza y transitoriedad, se transforma en piedra, convirti\u00e9ndose en algo que parece resistir la propia condici\u00f3n que representa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La exposici\u00f3n se despliega como un paisaje. Los suelos de la galer\u00eda est\u00e1n cubiertos por un patr\u00f3n continuo de pantano que conecta los distintos niveles en un \u00fanico entorno. Entramos en el paisaje desde distintas dimensiones, en lugar de limitarnos a observarlo desde la distancia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quiz\u00e1s as\u00ed es como nos encontramos con cualquier paisaje: en fragmentos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un insecto que se desplaza por un jard\u00edn no experimenta el jard\u00edn como un todo. Encuentra una hoja, una sombra, un tallo, un fragmento de tierra. El mundo m\u00e1s amplio existe a su alrededor sin llegar nunca a hacerse completamente visible. Nosotros no somos tan distintos. Desde la escala del cuerpo humano, el jard\u00edn es inmenso; desde la escala del planeta, el jard\u00edn es casi nada; desde la escala del universo, el propio planeta se convierte en un fragmento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las esculturas de m\u00e1rmol de Comte transitan entre estas escalas. Algunas son peque\u00f1as y casi \u00edntimas, mientras que otras adquieren dimensiones monumentales. Emergen de las paredes o se alzan libremente en el espacio, expandiendo sus formas m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las proporciones que esperamos de una flor. Su aparente delicadeza se contradice con su peso. Una flor se convierte en cientos de kilos de piedra. Algo asociado a la fragilidad adquiere masa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El m\u00e1rmol es antiguo. Pertenece a un tiempo anterior a la memoria humana, a la historia humana, a la presencia humana. La flor pertenece a un ritmo completamente distinto: crecimiento, floraci\u00f3n, decadencia. Reunir ambos supone hacer coexistir duraciones incompatibles dentro de un mismo cuerpo. Y, sin embargo, a otra escala, no existe contradicci\u00f3n alguna. Los \u00e1tomos que componen un cuerpo humano, una flor y un fragmento de m\u00e1rmol forman parte del mismo universo. La materia transita entre distintas formas. Lo que parece permanente est\u00e1 cambiando; lo que parece insignificante contiene historias m\u00e1s antiguas de lo que podemos imaginar. Nos experimentamos como entidades separadas, pero, a otra escala, todo es continuo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El suelo se convierte en una especie de terreno vivo: un lugar de crecimiento, descomposici\u00f3n y regeneraci\u00f3n. Los pantanos contienen materia en transici\u00f3n. Las cosas se acumulan, se descomponen, se transforman y vuelven a comenzar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El paisaje existe, por tanto, en alg\u00fan punto entre lo org\u00e1nico y lo artificial, entre la naturaleza y su representaci\u00f3n. Las formas de Comte no intentan imitar la naturaleza ni simularla. Son proposiciones sobre lo que sucede cuando la naturaleza atraviesa la percepci\u00f3n humana y la tecnolog\u00eda. Cuando una forma viva se convierte en imagen, una imagen se convierte en datos y los datos se convierten en piedra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por un instante, la galer\u00eda se transforma en un ecosistema en el que coexisten distintas formas de tiempo: el tiempo geol\u00f3gico, el tiempo biol\u00f3gico, el tiempo humano y el tiempo tecnol\u00f3gico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quiz\u00e1s esto sea parte de lo que significa vivir una vida finita y fr\u00e1gil en un universo infinito y eterno: ocupar un espacio diminuto dentro de algo que nunca podremos contemplar en su totalidad y, al mismo tiempo, estar hechos de la misma materia que compone ese todo mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuestras vidas pueden ser breves. Nuestra escala puede ser peque\u00f1a. Pero peque\u00f1o no significa separado. La piedra sobrevivir\u00e1 a la flor. La flor sobrevivir\u00e1 al instante en que la contemplamos. Y los \u00e1tomos que las componen continuar\u00e1n transitando por otras formas mucho despu\u00e9s de que nosotros hayamos desaparecido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La pregunta no es \u00fanicamente cu\u00e1nto dura algo, sino qu\u00e9 sucede mientras est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El paisaje est\u00e1 cambiando ahora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>El t\u00edtulo de la exposici\u00f3n individual de Claudia Comte parte de una pregunta planteada por el f\u00edsico Brian Cox al comienzo de sus conferencias en vivo: What does it mean to live a finite, fragile life in an infinite, eternal universe? Para Cox, la pregunta abre paso a la extra\u00f1eza fundamental de nuestra existencia: somos diminutos en relaci\u00f3n con la escala del cosmos y, sin embargo, estamos hechos de la misma materia que lo compone. Somos, literalmente, parte del universo que intentamos comprender. Comte aborda esta paradoja no desde la astronom\u00eda, sino a trav\u00e9s de otra forma de pensar la escala: el paisaje.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31.10 \u2013 31.12, 2026 Para su segunda exposici\u00f3n individual en Albarr\u00e1n Bourdais, titulada What does it mean to live a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8660,"template":"","categories":[26,13],"class_list":["post-8665","projet","type-projet","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-madrid","category-proxima-exposicion"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
