Descripción de la Exposición
"This space with two cubic meters is separated by a blue translucent surface in two distinct environments. On the inferior cubic metre, a Seagull motor from the 1930’s appears as the representation of a underwater motricity. On the superior cubic metre another engine, an Airboy from the 1950’s, stands out of this line of water.
Booth these mechanisms have the function to dislocate vessels. With different densities, the helix of the outboard motor, smaller and rotational, resembles to the fins of a fish. Regarding the helix of the Airboy engine, it’s more like the wings of a bird. Two motors, two environments, the same function but in different densities, separated only by a water line that will always be a horizon line."
