El Fin de la Nostalgia

2018

The foundations of this interdisciplinary piece is the objective composition of space-time that systematically consist in the manipulation and displacement of objects. From this bases an in situ audio composition emerges from the registration of the sound of this objects.

"El Fin de la Nostalgia" is based on the theme of destruction as an unfolding concept that in its factors brings with it construction and the abstract deconstruction of a constant state of permanence, of present of being. 

“La angustia ante la existencia es el camino que lleva a la creación y esa angustia en muchos casos no es más que la espiral de fuerza que lleva al hombre a destruir lo que conoce. Pero esta destrucción no es una negación sino una celebración en sí misma pues significa el triunfo sobre el tiempo paralizado, sobre la nostalgia que corroe”.  Walter Benjamin.

“El Fin de la Nostalgia is an auditory piece that emerges from corporal experimentation with materials that appear to have been obtain from waist or the destruction of a building. However, in the montage, what we observe is the materialized of the auditory process and the creation of the visual-sculpture. In other words, Nayeli Santos , exposes how the different process of conceptualization that El Fin de la Nostalgia le requirió, se convierten en una obra sonora, visual y corporal”.

“En The End of NostalgiaThe spectator observes the conceptulization of the piece through the process that imply to generate sound, record and create a auditory piece, which is done with the help of an sound artist. Both create a sound atmosphere that keeps us alert and guides the observation. Meanwhile, Santos does another process visual-sculpture that carries towards a climax with a strong and poetic outcome, in this way, they are able to get the spectator to ramble on their own interpretation that the proposition of Santos has generated, by giving us images that precisely crumble nostalgia, but as Santos points out; "We should leave behind all nostalgia of what was, to continue forward. 

The proposition of Nayelis Santos, is a breath of fresh air and a invitation to expand the artistic practices and the experimentation among these in the local scene. At the same time dialog with the global scene, from a space and a place of well defined enunciation as is the independence, creating every time a more personal aesthetic or style. There of "El Fin de la Nostalgia" is the consolidation of Santos as n trans-disciplinary artist that is constantly experimenting and commutes between different artistic practices.
