Julia Rometti and Victor Costales: El Perspectivista at Galerie Jousse Entreprise
From April 6 to July 31, 2013, Galerie Jousse Entreprise in Paris hosts the inaugural solo exhibition, El Perspectivista, by Julia Rometti and Victor Costales. This exhibition embodies Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's theory of perspectivism, which questions the notion of objective reality. Central to the display is the Necker cube motif, alongside aerial images of the Amazon rainforest segmented into cubes. Slideshows titled L'Inconstance des pierres sauvages showcase volcanic rocks from Ecuador. Additionally, double portraits of agave plants reflect themes of multiplicity. A fictional flag created by Antonio García Barón symbolizes 'magical anarchism.' The show also features anthropomorphic volcanic rocks, images of a belvedere for the Nazca Lines, portraits of Antonin Artaud, and a concluding slideshow of eagles paired with handwritten texts.
