“Blindness Alma : A room without walls” at TEAF 2020
Javier Martin has been selected as one of the 18 artist to participate on the 2020 TEAF Art Festival.
The one and only outdoor Installations Art Festival in Korea with history of 13 years.
It takes place at The Migratory Bird Park at Taehwa River National Garden in Ulsan city, Korea.
Martin will present his installation “Blindness Alma : a room without walls” for the first time outdoors, connecting with nature and taking the installation into a different dimension.
Blindness Alma - A room without walls, is an installation that encapsulates Javier Martin's Blindness Concept into a transcendental physical space, composed of mirrors and light that is simultaneously ethereal and unsettling.
He invites the viewer to step into a room where he has conceptually removed the walls, replacing them with unlimited light and space. Eliminating the barriers society imposes, which fill our minds with banal and insignificant thoughts, keeping us trapped, and unable to realize the potential that exists beyond.
This piece will not only test the concept of perception but inspire self-reflection. Blindness Alma will allow viewers to interact with the work, become a part of the art, and discover a pure reality.
The transcendental problem of light is that it is merely a reflection. So the ultimate goal for the viewer is not to focus on the glowing neon light but search within for something more profound beyond those lights. To look inside and outside of oneself to question societal views of self-worth as well as their perspectives.
