Laura Lio. Sobre/Salto

CentroCentro in Madrid hosts the exhibition Sobre/salto, a project by Laura Lio curated by Nerea Ubieto, bringing together works from 2010 and pieces created for the space.

The exhibition Sobre/salto brings together at CentroCentro works by Laura Lio produced since 2010 alongside pieces made specifically for this space. Curated by Nerea Ubieto, the show offers a reflection on the links between nature, technology, language and territory.

The route is structured around two poles, nature and technology. Drawings, seeds, celestial atlases, birds and branches coexist with a large installation of moving parachutes, inspired by Altazor, the poem by Vicente Huidobro that reflects on the idea of the journey of life and its uncertainties. In a second room, botanical structures ranging from the internal structure of tree trunks to the design of leaves are compared with the arteries of circulation and the urban layout.

From this approach, the platform Hacer la calle displays posters bearing poetic and political proclamations, designed to catch the eye in the public street. The proposal also revisits the memory of the former Palacio de Telecomunicaciones, the building that houses the space, through mail art, postcards and unpublished posters that examine the building's past and the forms of communication in cities.
