GABRIEL RIBEIRO'S SOLAR EXPERIMENTATION, IN KUBIKULO
Kubikulo presents in its Oporto gallery Sol Raso, an installation by Gabriel Ribeiro (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1990) that is presented as a material and superficial photographic event on polyurethane foams in which the evolution of the exposure of the materials to the elements and the sun for thirty days is captured.
In that month, the solar prints have been drawn without the help of chemicals, emerging organically, like the process that builds them, and whose result resembles projected undulations. This technique has been developed by the artist himself in his eagerness to explore and experiment with the impact that exposure times with natural light sources have on the materials that surround us.
Thus, the sun - elemental source for the occasion - is shown on the foams, but, inevitably, it also traces the necessary space for reflection on time and matter, as well as on the paths and transformations. It also alludes to the fact that being able to stop the process is part of the total understanding of the action, playing with the established protocol itself and its temporality to obtain details, forms and nuances that give formal meaning to the work.
Sol Raso can be seen until November 17 at KUBIKULO, Restauração, 10, Porto (Portugal).
