Lola Marazuela
1970, Segovia. Lives and works in Milan and Madrid

In a room bathed in red light (submarine, photo lab, brothel, theatre), I have built several crystal towers on a wooden table. These towers
(glasses, flower vases, bottles….) try to reach the ceiling in an ever more precarious balance. It is very likely that during the show some of the towers will fall, leaving razor sharp pieces all around.
These constructions are a seismograph, a Chinese circus, a theatre of hysteria, a cryogenically frozen circulatory system, a nervous system, a firework, a red zone, an exercise in sculpture, a ruinous plan, the interior of the Titanic, a musical expectation, a still hourglass, a monument to
“l’amour fou,” a mirage, a “phenomenon of ecstasy,” a wound, a
hot-house of glass, a mineral, a stalactite, a landscape of entropy, a scene from Hieronymus Bosch, a fevered dream, a drunken vision, an
architecture made pregnant, a scaffolding, an “exquisite corpse,” a
challenge to the throat of a prima donna, a thought for Marnie by Alfred Hitchcock, a waterfall, Red Sea, shattered glass, end of party.
