Radix It is an absolutely sensory installation. Tania Candiani has arranged the darkness, music, the surrounding environment and living matter so that the visitor feels that they are entering the interior of a living organism. And he is alive, because the room is inhabited by plants and roots that we will see grow until September. Blown glass sculptures float in the dense vegetation, representing the fluid transition between the organic and the manufactured., made in collaboration with Finnish masters. Once again the IVAM focusing on the most collaborative facet of art and crafts, which in Radix is shaped like glass. Suspended glasses with aquatic plants are made with this material., whose roots will remain exposed so that we can see how they descend freely in the air, or within the central Raizotron, an inclined glass sandwich so that the roots that grow inside stick to the glass and their evolution can be seen. The two audiovisual projections and a vibrant octaphonic sound composition have just given shape to a living installation that, in continuous transformation, allows us to peek underground and look into the darkness of a normally hidden world. Tania Candiani's idea is not to represent nature, but to speculate on its possible transformations, hybridizing science with art. S.M.
