Inspired by the philosopher Michel Foucault, Karina Montenegro seizes the notion of heterotopia in order to invent incompatible spaces that juxtapose, that are difficult to locate or compare to any other space, but that allow us to experience a perfect physical and mental utopia. Metaphor for duality and contradiction, the mirror is the ultimate implement for utopia – a tactile object, carrier of unreal images.
Deslocamento is an interactive installation that deforms space through the use of a rotating mirror reflecting projected lines. The work aspires to induce physical and optical experience on the viewer, but also to make him aware of his dynamic relation with the surrounding space. By shifting the initial perspective, Deslocamento carries the viewer towards an heterotopic spatiality.
Dislocamento is the outgrowth of the work Digital Interruption, created at LabMis, São Paulo, Brazil. For this residency, Karina Montenegro benefits from the exchange programm between the São Paulo Museum of Image and Sound, Brazil, and LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, Avatar and La Bande Vidéo, Quebec.
