Endless reweaving 1 (retissage sans fin)

In order to materialize time considered by stratification as archeologists do, the photography shot by the artist of an old building in Bogota is print by sublimation on silk polyester. It is then totally unweaved, keeping only the vertical threads (time) that are stabilized between two bronze bars.Two layers of textile are issued from the same image, but printed mirrored. This is a kind of analogical superimposition of the final image. It gives the illusion of a third dimension and a cinetic effect appears in the light.

Born in 1975 in Bogota where she lives and works, Leyla Cárdenas studied Fine Arts at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá and completed an MFA at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
