Desborde
Sala La Gallera, Valencia. 2013
Overflow consists of a huge woven mass whose raw material is plastic thread with a wire core in red, orange and gold. The structure, which is made up of around 100,000 meters of wire and 3 million knots, is based on the concept of the fractal, a knot that repeats itself infinitely and connects the different parts of the mesh with a great possibility of permutations.
In Desborde's approach there is no narration, because it is located right on the limit between sculpture and drawing, embroidery and basketry. The process is its history, the history of its making, a suspended tempus, a daily, monotonous and vital story full of small nuances and different voices that intersect. It retains in its thickness a morning and afternoon diary of a dozen hands that twist and cut to unite again and give a new shape; a chorus of murmurs, confessions and measured silences, while the hands turn quickly, generating knots and twists to assemble those small alveolar bushes that will later become part of a larger whole; they are friendly hands that have been joining in and making the artist's proposal their own.
In this continuous repetition, of this psalmody, the structure that sustains the entire project is composed. Since the ultimate goal of the proposal is to make all the parts add up and support with equal importance, the network fabric will make each part of the multiple ramifications generate a supporting force for the entire organ and can float in connection with the architecture itself. .
