Maria Paris Borda

Concave is a large-scale installation created for the Lunar Practices series at B09k Gallery in Changsha, China. The installation was a billboard that illuminated at sunset.

The billboard displayed a bilingual poem composed of two voices: A leading voice attempts to define distance as something that spreads, void of direction, with no up or down. A second voice recites the possibilities of what a hole, a void, or a gap could be. Through relation and proximity, both distance and gap entwine.
