During her residency at the MUNTREF - Centro de Arte y Naturaleza, Rita Fischer used to collect the organic and non-organic items around the building which today make up the vast diorama of nature sitting in the exhibition room. On the basis of these spatial features, the artist built an internal landscape which holds a dialogue with the architecture: light filtering through the glass skylight acquires plasticity, throwing the items in the installation into profile. Interior and exterior fuse together, becoming a three-dimensional pictorial construction: what can be seen on the flat surface actually floats in its depth, creating a translucent effect, super-impositions which veil and reveal and elements making up the composition. The layers propose a tale in the becoming, an intricate skein that unwinds as the visitor tours the installation. As if caught in the seconds following an explosion, the forms are left floating, weightless, suspended between floor and ceiling like the bodiless remains of a mystic space.
