For the second edition of the UMA Mural Art Project
This is an initiative promoted since 2019 by the Vice-Rectorate for Culture of the University of Malaga, with the participation of the Vice-Rectorate for Smartcampus and curated by the Staf Magazine team.
The artist says about the work: “This work is based on two questions: 1. The environment that surrounds the painting, and 2. The support on which it has been made. The place is the University of Malaga, opposite the faculties of Philosophy, Psychology, Communication and Sciences. The support is a modular wooden structure that protects the exposed brick facade.
The chosen concept - which brings together the disciplines studied in this environment - is the Schrodinger's cat experiment, according to which, based on the theory of quantum physics, a matter could be alive and dead at the same time. Overlapping. The overlay is the instrument that I have taken as a reference to modularly paint two cats, one alive and the other dead. What one cat lacks, the other has and vice versa. The viewer must walk from one mural to another to notice this fact (the video simulates the superposition of the different elements). The morphology of the murals is symmetrical, but both are separated by about 20 meters.”
