An installation comprising several parts (sculpture, kaleidoscopes and drawing), in which the artist plays with the archetype of the time capsule itself. This is a work that draws heavily on psychoanalysis figures, such as the ‘I’, the ‘Other’ and the world of ‘Dreams’ and how they converse with the Roscharch test as an almost theatrical backdrop.
A time frame that Mariscal places within a dream, which she identifies with the

 

‘mirror’. Taking as a reference the believe in native cultures, where dreams are considered as a way of seeing the future.

The inside and the outside; the skin and the textiles have a direct contact with the outside. The nontransferable self dominates the inside. Playing with this language Julia uses textiles, transparencies and reptetition as motives around the different installations.
