María Platero is interested in the protocols and the established conventions that govern our lives, with which we construct our reality; as well as in the need we have to measure things to understand them, to order what is possible. Even, and especially, when this implies passing through stupid proposals.
In her latest projects there are concepts such as balance, uncertainty, the chaos theory and random phenomena. Continuing with this work, she wants to investigate about the idea of displacement. Understanding the displacement as something capable of generating a series of consequences. The consequences that follow actions can be increasingly unpredictable or can be amplified beyond the predictable. I.e., major changes may be irrelevant effects and small changes can bring great consequences.
