Circulo De San Lluc

The exhibition Traces – Delineating Incidents unveils a series of drawings that translate natural forces into graphical manifestations. Set up as an investigation on energy, each plate was produced without the direct intervention of the hand; they are produced by a constructed mechanism that enables the pen to move, machinically dictated by the force.

Set up as the constant repetition of a calligraphic action, these drawings feature chance or randomness, yet the suggestive unpredictable nature of the act leads to the emergence of certain patterns that invites the reading of the physical phenomenon.

The exhibition is divided into two areas; an exhibition space, where are presented ten drawings which are the result of different forces (wind, waves, animals, magnets, metro etc.) and a production space where a drawing machine connected with a sensor will operate, taking as a source of energy the movement of people walking in the street.
