Curatorial context

Leandro Erlich. Certezas efímeras presents a curated selection of two of the most representative installations by Argentine visual artist Leandro Erlich, a prominent figure in contemporary international art. Erlich's work is characterized by its use of everyday elements to create immersive experiences that alter the perception of reality. The exhibition features 'Nido de las Nubes' (Cloud Nest), an installation of floating clouds suggesting different countries and questioning the permanence of borders, and 'Changing Rooms', a labyrinthine structure of cabins with false mirrors that disorients visitors and challenges their sense of self. Through optical illusions and spatial manipulation, Erlich constructs environments that break down conventional frameworks, inviting viewers to question their own perspectives on reality and artifice. The exhibition highlights key aspects of his practice, including the significant role of architecture and space, the use of illusion, the incorporation of everyday objects, and influences from cinema and literature, particularly the works of Hitchcock, Polanski, Lynch, and Borges. 'Certezas efímeras' aims to envelop the visitor in a symbolic world where maps and mirrors become vehicles to confront the nature and perception of human existence.
