Change of Hand!. Laura Sebastianes

Change of Hand!, a title borrowed from a story by Antonio Tabucchi, introduces a concrete image: that of a weight held for too long, forcing change of hands. In this minimal gesture there is a moment of relief, but also of instability. Nothing is fully abandoned; it simply passes on, is redistributed, and finds another way to be held.

A group of works is situated in an unstable territory, where sculpture operates as a space of transition between the model and architecture. Rather than being organized through a hierarchy of scales or functions, the pieces rehearse continuous displacements: from object to environment, from the provisional to the structural, from manual gesture to spatial construction.

The exhibition space is not a neutral container: references to the exterior break into the interior, stretching boundaries and activating new forms of circulation and perception, blurring the limits between construction, representation, and stage. This approach alludes to the practice of architect Raimund Abraham, for whom architecture could exist as idea, model, or intervention, without necessarily resolving into a building.

The exhibition proposes continuous shift between scales —from the hand to the body, from the model to the environment— where each piece functions as a point of passage. Rather than occupying space, the works rehearse it.
