Natalia Domínguez explores from the installation and the object the notion of landscape, understanding it as a by-product of human activity. In this case she focuses on the cloud as an element of the landscape to insist on the formal and conceptual possibilities of abstract materialities, the corporeality of which resists to be domesticated. It is precisely this resistance that interests her: elements that are apparently impossible to trap physically. With ST (parachute) I she has found in the fall a form of liberation from material as well as meaning. ST (parachute) I is a parachute that has lost its function by being hooked to a structure. The shapes of the bags and the folds of the fabric refer to the rounded and pompous body of a cloud, an element that we cannot seem to contain.

Its gesture is that of something that rushes, like the cloud when condensation reaches its point and falls as rain, in a process of constant transformation of matter. The way to occupy space with an ethereal body is to understand its movement, in this case the cloud as something that is in constant transformation, a process and not an object.

Natalia Domínguez’s practice is mainly sculptural, from sculpture she works on issues related to language and meanings, the generation of symbols, codes and communicative abstractions. She understands language as something that flows, the limits of which are flexible and liquid. According to the artist “if language is a social pact, it is malleable, changeable and, consequently, chameleonic”*.
