A lo largo de la exposición espacio arquitectónicos, objetos domésticos, retratos y paisajes emergen como espacios de proyección, donde estados internos como el deseo y la resiliencia se inscriben en formas que reflejan interdependencia, conexión y transformación. Es por eso que la exposición se despliega como un campo de relaciones más que como una narrativa fija, trazando corrientes en constante desplazamiento y yuxtaposición. Lejos de proponer una única lectura, Layered Lives invita al visitante a habitar una constelación de historias, materiales y perspectivas en permanente movimiento. — Rachel Weiss Exhibition curated by Arianne Kolb and Sara GarzónExhibition curated by Arianne Kolb and Sara Garzón with the assistance of Caroline Davis and Allison Westerfield.with the assistance of Caroline Davis and Allison Westerfield.
