Space is inseparable from matter by Andres Marti

A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography by Andrés Marti. Model is Serghei. The geometry of space envelops us and makes us one. The space is malleable like the one who inhabits it, they share the same skin, the same matter; they dialogue, they complement each other, they merge. A Subjective interaction is generated between the subject and space.

Multiple meanings of the same matter mutate according to the state of the subject. The way we interact with space defines the way we identify ourselves and our own capacities. The subjects of this exhibition, who are ourselves, are shaping reality in the same way that reality is shaping them. Subjects that relate to space are limited or expanded, light or heavy, dense or fluid.
