We have the pleasure to exhibit Descontorno by Ines Teles.
Press Release
My eyes are nearly closed, it is sleeping time. The image is fading away and I cannot identify any thought in my mind. All the sounds overlap in a way they become inaudible and I am about to fall asleep. For no reason, my attention goes to the patches of color that appear between my eyelashes. These shapes can diminish or expand according to the aperture of my eyes and they are constantly moving around the ceiling. I spend some time observing this experience and it becomes a challenge to focus on the shape of the patches, making them last longer between the walls of my bedroom and my eyelashes. Gradually the heaviness of my eyelids goes away, the sleep escapes me.
