Tapping into his architect’s training, @josedavila seeks with his sculptures to elude notions of stability and permanence through precarious balance. His œuvre is a host of contrasts – between organic and geometric, natural and artificial, fragile and solid. This installation, "La ciencia, como la realidad, siguen siendo Platónicas" made from rocks and second-hand furniture found in Lyon, subverts the habitual purpose of these objects through play with tensioning and precarious balance. The piece enlists the forces of physics to interrogate the fragility of existence and human resistance. Commission for the 16th edition of the Biennale de Lyon. @biennaledelyon "La ciencia, como la realidad, siguen siendo Platónicas", 2022 Concrete, wooden furniture, rock, ratchet strap With the support of Mat-Eco Recyclage.
