Statement
Lihuel González's work explores the invisible intervals that exist between language, interpersonal communication, and both personal and social stories that often go unnoticed. Through photography, video, sculpture and performance, González proposes a reinterpretation of the world around us, highlighting the fragments discarded by contemporary society. Her projects reveal the poetics of the forgotten, where objects and marginal spaces are resignified as bearers of stories and metaphors about our interaction with the environment.
