Fernanda Soriano is GlogauAIR resident
from April, 2019 to June, 2019
ernanda Soriano is an artist from Santiago, Chile. She studied Fine Arts and also Aesthetics and Philosophy in the same country. Her work goes from painting, performance, to photography. Currently working also on video and installation for her residency project.
Fernanda Soriano’s work is based on a investigation of the fabric as an element that can relate to the human being. Into her work the covering has a important place, which gives the meanings a walk around to think about the limit and the time. The past and the present.
How the observation of the fabric became an obsession to her. The willing to keep findind unexplored details on a constant referent. A thorough observation of this everyday material, and the way that in the end, everyone can relate to it. To give the fabric the ultimate power to transform her regular places, and bring unexpected new meanings.
By the physical observation of the fabric, Fernanda Soriano can approach the material and transform it into an emotional and poetical form of being. The way the raw fabric look from her eyes, this translated into a photographic eye as a medium of register of what was once there, into this specific context. To translate the texture, the temperature of the place (Her current studio in this case), where this comes to life.
Fernanda’ s work goes through a back and forward place to relive the beauty of this material, the droppings, and it’s image around all art history, religion and politics. Her work proposes a more personal view of the material, and at the same time, a more intimate journey around it.

Statement
An investigation about the person dissociated of its space. A look from the exterior to the interior.
A person dissociated of its context.
To cover.
To generate meanings around what is being hided.
A suspended moment, a moment being suspended.
A threshold that makes a turning point.
The fabric like the threshold that gives the before and after.
An investigation around the performative and the image.
The utilization of a space to give meanings.
The beginning of a 0 moment, in which the being sees itself disputed between the use of the fabric like an element of suspension.
The reminiscence of a silhouette inserted into a context. A constant split.
GlogauAIR Project
The exposed fabric, stretched, imprisoned on itself. The breaking point between the perceptible and what is hidden.
How fabric can be represented as a multi-facet material, and in the same instance, show the intimacy kept inside of it?
My intention with this project is to demonstrate the fabric’s capacities, exploring the material both physically and emotionally altogether with its relationship with the human and the poetics of represent the covering. The way in which the fabric transforms itself in a portal that transcends across the persona. Through this investigation, and using installation, video (media) and photography, the measurement of body through fabric will be evidenced.
The union, unfold and cover. The game between meanings carried by this material.
A threshold that marks a before and after.
A passing threshold that marks a limit between the interior and the exterior.
A suspended moment and a moment being suspended.
An investigation through the reminiscence of the person on a context that transcends.
There is no certain.
The fabric as a portal between the life and death. To stop living.
The immutable.
The person being dissociated of it’s space.
An history that mantas itself through time.
The need to belong and appertain.
The 0 moment.
