In his second individual exhibition shown at Vermelho, Iván Argote is featured in Vermelho’s cinema space, sala antonio, with his new film, Fructose (2016), a production commissioned by CIFO – Cisneros Fountanals Foundation.
Fructose
Deep in the British countryside, the English State has preserved a tree with great care. It is the famous apple tree of which a fruit, falling, is believed to have inspired Isaac Newton, during one of his bucolic walks around 1666, and his law of universal gravity. Taking as a point of departure this anecdote (manufactured in reality 30 years later by the wise man’s first biographer) and the current site of this legendary tree, the Colombian artist Iván Argote carries out experiments as choreographic as sculptural by the grace, among others, of allowed down images which allow better observation of the effect of gravity on diverse bodies. Borrowing popularization texts from the history of science as well...as manuals for children, or indeed educational clips, the film amusingly gives joyous illustrations of scientific phenomena.
