Tiro al Blanco presents Primero fue el espacio by Iván Estrada.

Matter does not exist Matter does not exist, until we bring it to us, to our sight, to our hands, to our strength. It lies motionless and inert in the hiding places of the planet, that cosmic figure that because it is eternal is incomprehensible, because it is immense is unfathomable.

Our capacity as finite beings only allows us to sustain a minimum amount of substance that, if it is enough, we can bring it to the plane of existence, turning it into an object with the possibility of handling it as we please and desire, always limited by its qualities. Matter is a dream of infinite possibilities. The earth a great block of memory.

Geometry is a dream of harmonic order.An object or an image that is configured as a representation of the will, of the desire of thought to show itself with a stable form. The making is also a form of thought, the construction and its variations are an evolution of the ineffable idea. The transformed matter is an extension of thought, an appropriation of poetic life.
