"Cristina Ortiz is a visual artist who is inspired for her works by the spiritual, dream world, mystery, nature and the beauty of simplicity.
At “HYSTERICA” exhibition hosted by M.A.D.S. Art Gallery, Cristina presents two videos.
In the first one, "HYSTERIA", the artist attempts to represent what "hysteria" means for her, through the overlapping of images, colors and sounds that seem to come from another world, with a dreamlike and dreamy result. The images follow each other in gold through aquatic effects, almost as if the stories they tell were on a distant seabed trying to tell something unknown to us. Photos of children come alive and speak to us even if the result is not engaging, on the contrary, they remain in their muffled world detached from ours. The video is a succession of fragments, like memories that are part of the artist's memory that are composed in a timeless sequence to return a story made up of images and sounds of which we do not have full understanding. The result is therefore profoundly metaphysical, a daydream.
With the same expedient, Cristina creates the second video presented in the exhibition, "Octubre": a human face remains fixed for almost the entire duration of the work, alternating however between more serene moments, accompanied by sweet and calm music and with an already used water flowing over it, to other darker ones, with the disfigurement and aging of the face followed by dark and disturbing music. Almost at the end of the video then, a series of faces alternate with each other, some younger, others older, almost as if time had passed fast between them: in line with the theme, the work is therefore based on old age, youth, awareness of our existence and mental disturbances caused by the ephemeral feeling of life and the lightness of the human being."
