ELEMENT 3.1
Element was a site specific installation conceived around one characteristic of the space were it was presented:
The exhibition venue had serious rain leaks.
This conditioned the kind of artworks that could be shown there.
A Oficina was a former car repair shop, later acquired by the Fernando Santos gallery. Instead of turning it into yet another white cube, they opted for leaving it exactly how it was when the activity of repair ceased.
I decided to overcome that conditioning by creating a large scale structure which generated artificial rain when the attending public activated the system.
