2015 - The unrest of the masses
Solo exhibition at the Center for Cinematographic Research
In a tacit and pristine time-space, Paloma returns us to the most ancient manifestations of skill and thought. Brief narratives with an anonymous protagonist—individual, multiplied, collective—gradually acquire meaning. They draw us into their plot and prompt us to question.
Where each element, in apparent synthesis, constructs the sum of languages, enriching the story. Distance disguises itself as a stain; proximity reveals the primary forms of figuration. A certain geometry orchestrates a gentle, tense equilibrium. Meanwhile, the text amplifies the pictorial.
Rhythms explode and slow the canvases. Paloma paints; Paloma sets them to music. Her characters stir, shout... and suddenly surrender to silence. For it is in counterpoint that she shapes her universe.
-The Restlessness of the Masses-, 7 canvases, 1 installation, where “Today I am one, tomorrow I will be torn to pieces again; and thus, everything in this world settles and modulates.”(*).
