Under the eyelids by Plinio Villagrán G.
“ The wave stopped, only to rise again immediately, breathing like a sleeping creature whose breath comes and goes unconsciously.” Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Parting from a creative process measured in the labyrinths and spaces of the oneiric and sensorial experiences, Claudia López Terroso retakes the home as a memory and begins a gestating and learning process, tracing a cartography that unfolds in the spaciousness of a landscape loaded with symbols and healing rites. The link with the shamanic and the ritualistic that comes from the existential turns said memory, and its visual evocation, in those dream spaces into the starting point of her work, as they become performatic and aesthetical codes about healing.
In the long history of magical-healing experiences from antiquity we find an endless amount of symbolic coverings of transience. Terroso turns to personal dream experiences and that magical-religious space that expresses itself from the path of visual creation: she materializes – through the photographic corpus – a visual cartography of something hard to stage and that mostly cannot be completed; that is, a total mimesis of the dream is impossible, but even so, there can be a faithful approach through photographic or cinematographic works.
