“The event that decided to leave the wisdom in suspense to ask for the being of things, of reality, was astonishment. In the Asom-bro there is an unseen being in front of something, something that has been known and that was thought to know but in an instant it is shown as new, leaving the one who contemplates it in a kind of blindness and dumbness. There is No word in astonishment, only silence and, at the most, an exclamation. The astonishment is Pasmo, the pasmo that occurs when something unusual is seen, but that is even more pure and fertile when it is produced before something well known and that suddenly presents itself as never before.

“Notes of a Method”, María Zambrano.

This excerpt from María Zambrano’s book is established as a base for presenting a project composed of four women who share the illusion of being surprised with the everyday life of their social environment and reflecting it in their works in a transversal way and Multidisciplinary.

The process of creation that they carry out originates from the fecundity of the astonishment, fruit of the temporal suspension of the sense. It Takes special relevance to the artistic practice turned into a trace, at the same instinctive as persevering, from a space where the experience of tangible reality acquires a new raison d’être. This becomes a state where a concatenation of actions leaves cons-importance of it. What is true is that in all cases this new reason of being is revealed to us in a cartographic deployment where colors, objects, textures, texts, images and, in general, all kinds of traces that affirm our physical presence in the world, are presented in half of Path between the unusual, the utopian and the ineffable.

In Astronomy, Aromaticum describes the moment in which three or more celestial objects are aligned. The term, which comes from the Greek and which gives its name to this planetary conjunction, means yoke and also union. Composed of videos, drawings, sculpture and installations, Aromaticum is a project that craves the celestial, the real-wonderful and that at the same time reminds us of this inevitable anchorage to the terrestrial and tangible.

The characters of this project seek a significant-master for this atonal world in which we find ourselves immersed. To Lift the celestial fabric of the Flammarion, “The End of the world”, to cross this flat Land and to discover if indeed (as all those globes of the Middle Ages indicated) on the other side inhabit the Dragons or if on the contrary it is only of our own shadows.

The works of this project guide us through a circular journey that goes from the ethereal to the earthly, and in which the mass psychology and social disturbances are intermingled with the mesmerism, the levitation and even the astral voyage. It is No wonder that Vivian Leigh’s famous phrase in “A Streetcar Called Desire” is collected in the video as a manifesto:

“I Don do not want realism! I Want Magic! ” Without Magic, this world would be unbearable.
