Beatriz Santiago Muñoz
A Universe of Fragile Mirrors
As soon as you walk into the room where this exhibit is set up you feel
like you are transported somewhere else because of the dark lighting and all
these giant videos projected on the walls and this giant cube structure in the
room. I found Beatriz's work super interesting and relatable, but in a way that
I can't really put into words. Her work depicts what life in the Caribbean is
really like, specifically Puerto Rico and Haiti. I loved the realness and raw
nature of the videos, it didn't feel like they were scenes that were set up, it
just felt completely real almost as if you were really there experiencing the
situation in real life. I myself have been to Puerto Rico and Haiti, so it was
interesting to be able to see these places from a different perspective rather
than just as a tourist.
I also really enjoyed the videos that seemed
to be filmed through the mirrored sculptures that were placed on the table;
those videos were really cool to watch because of all the distortions that
happened with the mirrors. The records that were playing nature sounds were
also very interesting to just listen to, this exhibit, as a whole was just so
visually and audibly stimulating. Beatriz was able to transport the viewer to a
different location via just audio and visual.
