Transformations in illusion

After reading “About Magic,” by Michael Benedikt, I came across the poetic works of Solano Benitez, WHOSE DESIGNS ENCAPSULATE THE VERY ESSENCE restorative magic THROUGH reconstituted materials. intrigued by his sensual use of materiality encouraging dialogue, Piribebuy grave installation (in memory of his father) plays upon the manipulation of space via mirrored screens; multiplication of images with every movement; bending, sitting and walking through. 






"...in the mirror i'm "there" in front, outside of myself, living in another dimension that equals me anything else, or that I may dwell in another world than inside, on a basis of equality and simultaneity in the mirror may have the machine that can afford to live in another way with our loved ... absent loved ones, because the obscenity of death tore them from our side ... love those who are impossible, because we never find neither the space nor the time to enable them to exist ..."
