Zizi Ramires’s Dallol. 01 explores the use of digital work in (de)constructing spaces. Assembling images of Dallol’s landscapes with pictures of stones she collects, the artist creates digital patterns made of minerals. The work hence joins the free interpretation she makes of a distant geographical place she doesn’t know and the minerals she personally records, identical to the ones that form the landscapes. Dallol 01., therefore, deals with the way in which the absence of a subject can represent a tool to transform it. Moreover, the work seeks to change the essential formality and materiality of a given body, thus producing a conflict between the virtual existence of the space created by the artist and its material identity.


Dallol 2 and Dallol 17 are also digital landscapes, but unlike the previous work, they are printed on patterned fabrics and previously painted. Although the digital work allows Zizi Ramires to dematerialize their shapes, the paint added to it and the final artistic object gives them body. These works, therefore, gain unity through digital and material layers and it is through this combination of the two that the artist can reach purer forms and create spaces beyond the canvas.
