Statement

“Memory is fragile, provisional. Each time we remember, we invent. That’s why in each collage the image fractures only to recompose onto itself afterward.

The same photograph, but different. Like a puzzle that makes sense by being disordered. Dismantling the image to understand how it works. Unraveling to weave again with the same ball of yarn. With this series of geometric collages made from found postcards with floral motifs, I dive deep into my most recurrent obsessions: the passage of time, fragmentation, compulsive order, and distortion. And some new ones, like color and decorative flowers as border elements between the natural and the constructed, confronting the organic with the mathematical. Resulting in collages that are simple and off-key at once. Ornamental and symbolic. Familiar yet mysterious." S.B.

In the artist's own words

"This series playfully explores the symbolism of hands as a way to define what is real. In dreams, our subconscious often improvises details based on memory and expectation, leading to surreal or distorted perceptions. One common method for distinguishing dreams from waking life is by looking at our hands—something that often appears strange or inconsistent in dreams. By regularly examining the details of your hands while awake, you build a habit that can carry over into your dreams. When this happens, it can trigger the realisation that you’re dreaming, giving you the ability to consciously influence and navigate the dream world."

Our gift shop is half vanity (we’d love to see you wearing one of our shirts) and half a way for you to help us keep this project alive. Check out the merch we created for this show — it’s a small but great way to support future exhibitions like this one.

"Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different."

David Hockney
