Mariela Vita
《Another Clock at 82 Steps》
She is currently engaged in researching and producing projectson the theme ofspace and animism. It is shaped by external factors such as color, form, materialand the work itself.During her residency at PARADISE AIR, she will create smallstages, each of which will work importantly in relation to theother works, andeven to the space as a whole. Encounters and their respective materials take on alatent life of their own, becoming sites of exploration that demonstrate theirspecificity. These works can be a scene in an unknown game, witha somewhatfamiliar atmosphere. It is as if they are dreams we cannot decipher.She conceived the idea of creating them on an even larger scalein the future andmaking them my own resting place.

 

Krepki Palez
《Kuru Ubi》

Impressions from walking around Matsudo: winding plants, cozy buildings, variousstreet ads, images of animals and funny characters on signboards, local shops andbars, round mirrors sun glare on the sidewalks. All this mixedup and turned into aseries of sketches in notebooks, drafts for murals, small street interventions andnomadic shops.

 

Evi Pangestu
《Grid Exercises》
Throughout her time in PARADISE AIR, Evi Pangestu explored newways ofexperimenting with grids. Her observations on the existing square grids aroundMatsudo have led her to create a collection of photographs thatshe made into abook. For the first time in her practice, Evi reflected on the reverse position ofbeing the interruption instead of the control by experimentingwith found objectsand the fluidity of paper.
