VIEWING ROOM "ALTERNATING CURRENT"

"Alternating Current"

"Direct current" and "Alternating current" are the two main types of electric currents that we use.

"Direct current" is not so powerful, its transmission is compact and short, as well as being linear and in one direction.

"Alternating current" can be transformed from a high power to a short one in both directions, its undulating movements are transported and connected by means of transformers for its transmission as needed without taking into account the order of the connection poles.

This simple but complex description of the "alternating" electrical method generated in me this symbolic metaphor in which two female characters mutually and alternately feed each other's capabilities.

"Alternating current" to transmit and adapt its purpose needs "transformers", the cages symbolize that function.

A cage is an open mystery, from inside or outside, everything can be looked through.... but being inside is not the same as being outside, which is why cages can be transformative symbols.

Between these two powerful women, there is the capacity to adapt in their communication. Only they know what their internal and secret dialogue is, and although they may seem like similar clones, there are radical differences between them. It is not known which one could be more powerful or dominant than the other, in fact it does not matter, since both have the ability to transform their meaning as needed.

Two characters feeding each other in the middle of a dystopian landscape, apparently inert or inanimate, inviting the viewer to observe and discover their meaning, and beyond a comprehensible explanation, results in a silent and abstract explanation.

They show their nudity not in the erotic sense, but through a veiled, protected and semi-transparent invitation, so that we look inside ourselves, a mirror effect.
