Biography

Santiago Reyes Villaveces´ practice follows a material investigation of structures, assemblages, and dynamics that evidence states of transitivity and precariousness. The works comprise installations, sculptures, drawings, and photographs that address different relations of temporal indetermination. They transform, determine, modify, and interfere with the spaces in which they operate; affecting the way in which the spectator occupies and perceives physical space. The different materials that Reyes uses are characterised by notions of tension, scale, volume, weight, gravity, surface, pressure, contention, resistance, depth and limit. Such notions configure systems that produce new relationships between spaces, architectures and the bodies of the spectators.
