Through the creative flow and passion of two artists, photographic works are created, which seek to evoke similar emotions in the viewer. The artists hold a firm belief that individuals who surround themselves with and immerse themselves in what they love – whether it be dance or another form of passion – are connecting with a special place within themselves. Sometimes it can be difficult to define precisely, but it possesses passion and a sense of flow, and belongs to each and every individual in a uniquely personal way.

The aim of the exhibition is to capture a moment of flow, driven by the artists' emotions and interconnected ideas. They are then presented to the viewer in the form of a scenario, which cannot be fully explained, but which has the common focal point of evoking that place within us that touches upon each individual's passion.

The artists use the body and movement in their works, but steer clear of ideas about the body as such. With the exhibition, they focus instead on the connection that is formed through the body from the heart.

The exhibition is a collaboration between dancer Íris Ásmundar and photographer and graphic designer Nicolas Ipiña.

Íris is a graduate dancer from the Rambert School in London, with a master's degree in ‘performance and professional practices’ from the University of Salford, and Nicolas is a graduate in graphic design from the University of Buenos Aires.

The exhibition opening will be on Thursday, 6th June from 17:00 to 20:00, and everyone is welcome!

——————————————

Artwork, in the form of photographs, unfolds through the creative flow and passion of two artists who strive to awaken the same feelings within the spectator.

The artists firmly believe that people who immerse themselves in what they love, whether it's dance or any other passion, are tapping into a deep space within themselves – that sometimes might be hard to define fully – but every individual inhabits in a unique way.

The aim of the exhibition is to capture a moment of flow, which is driven by feelings and the artists’ mutual concepts. These moments are presented to the spectator in the form of visual scenarios, that cannot be fully defined, but have a mutual intersection which is this place within us relating to one's passion.

The artists focus on the body and movement, while staying away from the idea of the body itself. Through the exhibition they rather place the emphasis on the connection that is generated through the body with the heart.

This exhibition is a collaboration between the dance artist, Íris Ásmundar, and the photographer and graphic designer Nicolas Ipiña.

Íris graduated from Rambert School in London and holds a master's degree in performance and professional practices from the University of Salford, and Nicolas holds a BA in graphic design from the University of Buenos Aires.
