november 2024 – Santiago, Chile-
Fósforo, by Isidora Lackington, presented at the MonteCarmelo Cultural Center, was a resounding success, warmly received by both critics and the local community. This exhibition delves into the symbolic richness of matchboxes, everyday objects transformed by the artist with a hyperrealistic sensitivity, highlighting textures, colors, and shapes that evoke a unique tactile and visual experience.
The exhibition brings to life the matchbox collection of her grandfather, infusing these objects with meaning by connecting them to family stories and affections. Inspired by authors such as Walter Benjamin and Orhan Pamuk, Isidora elevates these objects from functional to symbolic, demonstrating how memory and imagination inhabit even the simplest of things.
