Tania Pรฉrez Cรณrdovaโs () work ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ณ / ๐๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ถ๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฐ (2023) is featured in the group exhibition โFuture Fossilsโ at MassArt Art Museum in Boston (). The show imagines contemporary artworks as relics of the past viewed by future observers, reconceptualizing our current moment as an unfamiliar and distant landscape.
The work is part of Pรฉrez Cรณrdovaโs ongoing series ๐๐ฃ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ดรญ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด, or โObjects Into Themselves,โ in which she melts and recasts metal objects. ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ณ / ๐๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ถ๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฐ was made by melting a brass chandelier and then recasting it back into its original form, resulting in an altered duplicate of itself. In its new form, the chandelier holds the memory of its destruction and renewal, becoming a symbol of vanishing existence.
