“How to steal a chandelier from a dream?” ✨☁️ BY SOFIA BONILLA @sofiboni SOFIA often uses materials that suggest domestic intimacy, like curtains, in a research on how ornamentation goes beyond decorating spaces or even our bodies, but as a way of claiming a space and making it our own. ‘A pocket in the eye’ On view until May 16 curated by Lorraine de Thibault and Valeria Diaz Granada. @valeriadiazgranada AT Börjesson Perotti @borjessonperotti

Hoy celebro a todas las mujeres de mi vida. Mi mamá, mi abuela, mis tías, mis primas, mi suegrita, mis amigas, mi mentora, mi sobrina… Cada una de ellas me ha enseñado algo llevo conmigo para siempre. Tambien celebro a todas las mujeres que inspiran, enseñan y transforman vidas. Las que se impulsan la una a la otra y se apoyan incondicionalmente. La fuerza de ser mujer está en todo lo que nos rodea y en lo que construimos día a día.🌹 De seguro tienes muchas mujeres que han marcado tu vida de manera especial. No olvides recordarles cada día lo especiales que son para ti. Dr. V 🤍 #diadelamujer #draveronicapalacio

🌔 Remember When is a project developed in collaboration with the glaciologist Maurine Montagnat, based on research into Antarctic ice core images. Through blur and transparency, the series reflects on humanity’s memory preserved in glaciers and their looming disappearance, exploring the tension between collective memory and amnesia, and paying tribute to those who read our history in rock and ice. Huge thanks to Maurine Montagnat for her trust. Thanks to @nourtournier , @ronandebosque and @mmmaximilien for making this possible ! @espaceparallele First image, alongside @cozydeepin & @sofiboni .

🏡🦅Chpt 3. Ghosts & Family Salle de Jeu (2025) was conceived for LA CASA by Sofía Bonilla Otoya. The work turns a house inside out, returning inward what usually remains hidden. Within this inverted space, a room appears where something seems to have happened (or is about to happen) from which the viewer is excluded. It is a ghostly place, tied to childhood: a space that can no longer be entered, but we can still observe. Bonilla is interested in this liminal condition, in the temporal ambiguity between past and future, and in a present understood as an idle intersection between the two. The notion of play runs as a conceptual structure. Play implies the acceptance of specific rules, often dictated by the objects, which determine how one can relate to others. Therefore, not everything is possible: there are limits, restrictions, and forms of care that emerge from the material. For Bonilla, during play we assume a role, a practice close to theatre, through which future versions of oneself are rehearsed. This performative dimension is reinforced through the construction of provisional architectures (rehearsal cabins, transitional spaces, unstable interiors) where something is in the state of becoming.
