artist luise valdes collected a lot of unwanted cardboard boxes for his latest installation ‘casa de karton’
or cardboard house. the project is a life-size recreation of valdes’ apartment using cardboard tape and
lots of white paint. all the objects in the apartment are made from old boxes that have been cut-out and
assembled into the form with a sketch-like outline for smaller details. all the boxes are whitewashed to
give the space a surreal quality of a drawing that has come to life.
This piece by Luise Valdes reminds me of a project i did last year called The white room, where i created a room made from card and paper and it painted white. I painted the furniture in the room white and added details with black marker pens to create a 3D colouring book, and invited people to come and colour it in.
I find this piece fascinating and have been playing around with a similar idea as a possible FMP instillation
