Pascual Sisto
'En Plein Air'
—
Title
translation:
In the open air.
The idea:
Sisto has
sampled
the organic
occurring
markings
native to a
peculiar
household
plant commonly
known as the
spotted laurel
or gold dust
laurel (Aucuba
Japonica
‘Variegata’).
This sampling
has occurred
multiple times
throughout
different
mediums,
"...like a virus
that spreads
unrestricted
until all
distinctions
between natural
life and ersatz
simulations
become
indistinguishable."
Details:
Inkjet pigment
on paper,
dye-infused
printing on
carpet covering
the entire
gallery, a gobo
stencil on a
spotlight casting
the specks onto
a synthetic plant,
immersive video
animations and
the living
molecules
that compose
its originating
plant matter.
Finishing
touches:
Sisto's
amalgamation
of sight,
sound and
smell includes
a layered
composition of
wildlife sounds
and a custom
scent that is
time-released
through
ultrasonic
diffusers to
continually
affect the
ambient
atmosphere
of the space.
