REPETITION AND TRANSFORMATION - SPECIAL PROJECT AT PINTA BAphoto
Cecilia Lenardón's Special Project at Pinta BAphoto, curated by Irene Gelfman, presents an installation that pushes the representation of the body through photography to the limit, transforming the static image into a living and performative experience. Entitled Cuatro piezas clave (Four Key Pieces), the work invites us to reflect on the body's boundaries and its capacity to tolerate effort and repetition.
The hyper-extended and deformed images unfold in space and occupy the floor. The work is a stage in pure movement: work and repetition, erosion and transformation, the body that changes its dimension. The final result transcends the stillness inherent in traditional photography and becomes an immersive and performative installation. There is interaction, there is time.
The repetition is an almost obsessive action of contraction and stretching, an inexhaustible cycle that generates variants. The four images of the artist's limbs pose a dialogue between uniformity and singularity. The same tasks affect each part of the body differently: motherhood varies according to who experiences it.
Cuatro piezas clave (Four Key Pieces) becomes a tribute to the fragility and strength of the body. The work recognizes the duality in living beings: to be able to resist and to be able to yield. In addition, the fragmentation of the body is incisively addressed, especially in the context of motherhood.

In a world where images are often seen as fixed representations of reality, her work leads us to consider how images can transform and acquire new meanings in different contexts. The installation suggests that photography, rather than being a reflection, can be a dynamic space of creation and reinterpretation.

In six selected works, the notion of territory addresses bodies, landscapes and symbols, questioning the stability of physical and conceptual limits. The territory becomes a fluctuating space, as critical as the viewer's place.
