Today, on a Day 3 of our In-Depth series with Alberto Álvarez we share with you his beautiful project ”A Cova” (The Cave).
This project treats the tension between the interior of a home and the outside; the collision between the relentless time passing by and the immobilism of a house full of inert objects, reminders of other times.
It also refers to the complexity of describing the concept of home. The line that separates spaces and delimitates times gets blurred out, leaving the inhabitant unprotected, surrendered and resigned to these forces.
A vision of the home from the perspective of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, where our memories remain reduced to simple representations and we fight against the force of the counciosness that tells us that to achieve again what time left behind would be impossible.
The past has not been seen going and the future will not be seen coming.
