Ships in a Crate
Esta obra hace parte de la serie Tras un rastro evocador, constituida por 8 piezas. Se basó en el interés por la memoria, el recuerdo que se diluye, que se disuelve con el paso del tiempo. Los fragmentos fotográficos de las obras fueron tomados en recorridos por algunos anticuarios de Bogotá. Los anticuarios son como un gran “cuarto de San Alejo”, los objetos van a parar allí porque en algún momento los hemos desechado por considerarlos obsoletos, inútiles. Luego de un tiempo llegan a los anticuarios y se convierten en un objeto vendible que ahora podría ser usado como decorativo, entonces el uso del objeto cambia. Ahora tendrá un nuevo valor comercial, debido al tiempo que representa y su cambio de utilidad; entonces me pregunto si ¿lo qué la gente va a buscar a estos lugares son objetos decorativos? o ¿van en busca de sus recuerdos perdidos? da la impresión de que los recuerdos se pudieran comprar, o como si se pudiese comprar el tiempo. La fragilidad de la memoria, de la misma imagen fotográfica, el accidente, el vacío arbitrario entendido como parte de la estética de la imagen abrieron la posibilidad de ser completados a través del dibujo. Analizando las posibilidades de mixtura entre la fotografía y dibujo encontré que la imagen dibujada crea un juego lingüístico con el contexto en el que se desarrolla, de tal manera que aquello que percibimos se amplía creando un diálogo con la fotografía, es decir, si bien el dibujo construye imágenes, en mi obra actúa como re-constructor, restaurador de la imagen fotográfica.

Colombia
Ibon Herrera is an artist, she holds a degree in Plastic and Visual Arts from the Santo Tomás University. Biological and digital memory are the central topics of her work; memory as a latent body that contracts and expands, a vital beat. Her most recent work addresses this topic by means of creating landscapes in movement departing from the translation into visual language of data. Data comes from seismic movements worldwide and is brought into play with biological memory, therefore, giving rise to metaphors between the pulse of the earth and its symphony with the heartbeat of the viewer. She works with obsolete diskettes, deposits of information and experiences that the artist transforms into a container of images of environmental victim species. Her exploration in search of those relationships and untimely encounters -even amongst objects themselves- has reached the antique dealers altogether. The result of this research was recorded in her works through photography as a memory device, and the possibility of memory restoration. Likewise, she uses thread, not only as a drawing tool, but also to weave stories.
