(Paris, France)
Patrícia Osses presents recent works in “L’autre ciel” (The other sky), her first solo exhibition in Paris, which opens this Saturday at La Maudite.
Revisiting a city without ever having seen it before.This is the idea behind the recent works that Patrícia Osses will present at her first solo show in Paris. The ensemble of the works are the result of the time that the artist resided in Jorge Luis Borges’ Buenos Aires: in order to discover what kind of visuality could arise from literary spaces contained in his stories, as well as from the experience in the city itself. Among the actual locations for new fictions: the old National Library of Argentina (now empty), a jam-packed and labyrinthine second hand bookstore (at its best Borgesian style), the city itself… and other stories, as the ones from Cortázar and Benjamin. The same reason that now brings Patricia to France, this time looking for Marguerites Duras sites.
