What happens when matter seems to lose its weight, when the real withdraws from itself? When this opposing force disappears, matter levitates. 

In this exhibition, the Argentine artists Majo Caporaletti and Vicky Polak work from a Latin American perspective, observing the desert lands of the Atacama in Chile and the Delta Islands on the banks of the Río de la Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

Working through oil painting and black-and-white photography respectively, Caporaletti and Polak develop distinct yet connected approaches to territory, the body, and the unseen. Both artists seek to subtract reality,  whether through photographic double exposure or through the use of colour and form. 

Just as these two artists work with opposing materialities, with elements such as the water of the Delta and the earth of the Desert, the two forces counteract one another and generate a sense of lightness in the gallery space, where an invisible force can be perceived through the work itself.

By highlighting the fissures and finding portals to traverse between dimensions, what levitates lies between what is and what could be.
