About the Item
Unique.
What is the work about: The expressive power of the shadow and the inner landscapes that emphasize the female identity.
Suzy Hug Levy brings an imaginary movement to the raw materials of the industrial and machine world such as metal, rubber, wire and nails, with transparency, shadows, reflections and the body's separation from gravity. In her “wearable sculptures”, the artist alludes to the subjects that are the focus of contemporary problematics such as the environment, culture and women, despite the almost nostalgic beauty of the textures, light and shadows she creates. At the same time, she offers a rare synthesis that can contain aesthetic qualities within a contemporary questioning and empiricism. Suzy Hug Levy's “wearable sculptures” are shaped and exhibited not to be seen in isolation from fixed ideal conditions, but to be perceived as oneself and the other, on stage and in the mind, between existence and non-existence, always in eternal and transformative relationships, as in the fluency, imagination and materiality of life. statues. With all these features, Levy's sculptures dissolve the fixed and massive sculpture and bring back the body, which he had idealized for centuries, as “space and matter”, “being and soul”.

About works:
In a series of works that Suzy Hug Levy creates with stacks of paper, we witness that she shapes the material by wrinkling it consciously or randomly. Labyrinthine images reminiscent of the mineral, vegetal and biological realms influence our perception, leading to a cellular abundance and topographical reading. Rhythmic wrinkles and faults intertwined with dizzying shortcuts, reminiscent of the deepest folds and protrusions of our memories, buried layers that only a hidden tectonics can bring to the surface again; These formations also question our humanity.
