Description: With Pulso (Pulse), Nicolas Mastracchio~ has made an installation that helps the audience to sink their feet into the ground and form a bodily connection with the space around them while his artworks float freely from the ceiling. The photographic images concentrate the aesthetic, spatial and material relationships around them. The video, in contrast, captures the rhythm of the experience with its constant flow and especially the sound piece that accompanies it. In Pulso, Mastracchio seeks to slow down one's perception through a connection with all senses. The project was influenced by Zen principles that the artist has been putting into practice for a couple of years, particularly through meditation. He works with the idea of nature as seen in photographs and the concepts of movement and transformation that are central to those principles.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held November 10, 2018 - March 13, 2019 at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires.
