BRAVARIA: BETWEEN EVERYDAY LIFE AND DARK FANTASIES
The Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires presented the exhibition Bravaria, the first solo show of artist Sofia Torres Kosiba in a museum of the city. It is curated by Raúl Flores.
From a group of sculptures and a video performance, the artist creates a fictional world, between a playroom and the necropolis, in which humor, eroticism, the disturbing atmosphere of fairy tales and gothic stories, and a subtle violence combine to expose the sinister limit between beauty and horror that hide behind the disappointing alignment of everyday life.
The kingdom of Bravaria is a devastated territory, whose ruined architecture contrasts with the organic forms of the beings that inhabit it. These alchemical characters, worked in cement, iron and foam rubber, carry in their bodies the contradiction of a rigid crust and a soft interior. The inhabitants of this fantastic kingdom, now turned into monuments, remain immobile, waiting for an oversight to start moving.
In the video performance, the artist herself embodies the Bird Woman, sovereign of Bravaria. Her dialogue with the birds evokes the public spaces and the historical past of its collapsed picturesque statues, to transform them through a parodic and oneiric look into a dreamlike present where opposite feelings such as tenderness and terror are reconciled.
