The next Thursday October the 24th, at 7 pm Espai sant Marc AIR will offer the oportunity to know the work of the Austrian artist Cornelia König , who is doing an artist residence in this space. In her Open studio she will show us several works that she is doing in photography and glass. in her own words:
“At a time when mass tourism and overtourism are becoming increasingly pressing issues in our society, Cornelia König‘s artwork, that she did at the residency „espai sant marc air“ in Sineu, invites viewers to reflect on the dual nature of light and shadow. The interplay of reflective surfaces and opaque materials creates a visual metaphor for the complexity of travel in the modern world. The black sandblasted glass symbolizes the often dark sides of tourism: environmental destruction, cultural alienation, and the overcrowding of popular destinations. In contrast, the sandblasted mirror captures light while simultaneously reflecting the beauty and fascination of travel experiences.
This duality is further enhanced by a carefully curated selection of Polaroids and photographs that document both the joys and challenges of traveling.”
