JULIA MARISCAL HORIZONTAL PLEAT PRIVATE VIEW: THURSDAY 3 DEC 6 – 9 PM Oblong Gallery presents the solo debut of Julia Mariscal in London. The show includes a specific installation, which combines moving image, sound, narration, text and objects. Through the illusion and the fragmentation of the information Mariscal presents a work that lies on the pleasure of decoding. Producing a multiplicity of perspectives on the same story, moving between the language of games -one of the most prehistoric ways of communication; and story telling -which is a way to help us to continue our daily lives / living. Addressing illusionist elements and narrations with a preoccupation on psychological subjects that might appear in an artist’s early career. The installation ‘Horizontal pleat’ departs from a recorded conversation -firstly recorded for personal use: autobiographic. The installation dismounts and adds elements that were talked or associated to the setting where the conversation took place, to create a strange order of subjective relations with no defined centre or direction. Mariscal decides to make use of the language of specific objects which remind us of a magician, a movable theatre, foldable structures to create an unsettle display to evoke the idea of the beginning of a process. A catalogue will be published to coincide with this exhibition.
