Denise’s next exhibition "At First Sight III" is part of a trilogy, based in a dialogue that questions public consciousness, the importance of time, of life and death, headed in the direction of natural disasters.
“Water is one of the main forces within my proposals, which becomes a process of discovery and an appalling way to show reality.
Without water, there is no life and here is where the constant search of this project begins. This is a reality that needs no translation. It is a universal language that could reach extinction. This is the mystery of nature, which I present devoid of identity. I only indicate the presence of the captured instant, insisting on creating consciousness regarding the importance of time.
Time is the backbone of this trilogy. The unexpected and the unrepeatable is what produce the intrigue, the questioning and the dialogue. This is what is essential and the combination that I search for between the simplicity of each image and reality.”
Part of the installation is composed of light boxes which purpose is to emphasize time, in terms of the life of each image and how these images disappear one the light is turned off. The meaning of the disappearance makes each photograph more intimate, thus creating a closer bond with the audience.
This multidisciplinary installation will be representing the diversity of water in different oceans and in addition, what was water at some point in time and no longer is.
The series Glaciers is the bond between the three stages.
