Infinite measure by Maria Laet | video tour

Maria Laet talks about her exhibition "Infinite measure" at the gallery.

In Infinite measure, Laet explores ways of realising the emptiness and make the brevity of the moment evident, through photography, video, drawing, engraving and installation. This search leads to the discovery of incommensurable lines, with no beginning or end, and uncertain boundaries that constantly change. These infinite measures can be found in the continuous gesture between two stones, in the constant movement of the waves and the tide, expanding and shortening the bounds of the sea and covering up the presence of the body in the sand, or in the action of widening the limits of a rubber band so that it contains more stones between its shape. These actions can be recorded through the meticulous repetition of a movement, or by emphasising both the presence and absence of the body. Thus, Infinite measure is an attempt to materialise what is invisible, abstract or in constant transformation.
