The act of folding is both a concept and a formal process. Folding as action, illusion, and symbol has appeared throughout contemporary art and literature, from Simon Hanta\u00ef\u2019s literal process of folding the canvas, dousing it in oil paint, then unfolding it to reveal inadvertent yet lyrical patterns; to Gilles Deleuze\u2019s influential meditation The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque (1988), in which the world is interpreted as an infinity of surfaces twisting through time and space; to Tatiana Trouv\u00e9\u2019s recent Refoldings sculptures cast from discarded and refolded packing materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Robert Rauschenberg the act of folding produced Freeway Glut (1986), a muscular assemblage of manipulated industrial parts; while John Chamberlain worked lightly and in miniature with resin-coated crumpled paper. Some works involve aleatory processes that transcend artistic control, such as Hanta\u00ef\u2019s Blanc (1974), or Davide Balula\u2019s canvases that he immersed in soil or in rivers, allowing incidental organic residue to take hold.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Tension and Interlude (2018) Florencia folded the canvas to create a grid; to further bend time while creating a ripple effect. There is an earthly yet perishable role in the genesis of the folded form, folding has shown to be an arterial process through which diverse works literally or symbolically turn in on themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florencia Br\u00fcck\u2019s artwork, through the lens of folding and unfolding, crafts a universe where the physical and philosophical, the material and immaterial, and the controlled and chaotic dance in a perpetual dialogue. Her work becomes a narrative that is deeply rooted in the physical and chemical dynamics of her materials, yet transcends these to explore philosophical and aesthetic realms, crafting a space where spectators are invited to navigate through the intricacies of chaos and control, materiality and immateriality, and time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
