Cristina Iglesias - Tránsito Mineral Centro de Arte Hortensia Herrero, Valencia
Transito Mineral is a permanent installation situated at the convergence of the two buildings within the art center. As visitors traverse this corridor, they engage a series of mirrors which multiply its depth and in which they can see their image reflected, leading them to isolate ourselves and forget that they are right in the centre of the city.
“This piece presents a dreamlike world, very close to science fiction in its physical appearance, with elements that have a stony texture and appearances of organisms that you don’t quite recognise, and then all this world of reflections, of mirrors, places where you can’t enter and others where you can. I hope viewers will feel they are in another world, that this passage from one place to another will be a passage into a special, dreamlike world, and that it can remind you in turn of things you have seen in nature.”—Cristina Iglesias
