Constellations and Drifts, the first solo exhibition by Chilean artist Pilar Mackenna at Galeria Pedro Oliveira, curated by Susana Ventura, is the result of an artistic practice based on the observation of human beings, their context and its multiple layers, highlighting the experiences that intertwine between them. This ecosystem of interdependencies and experiences, conditioned by a certain time and space, establishes the main guidelines for the development of Constellations and Drifts works.

Work processes such as territorial drift, collection, drawing, painting and diagram study, function as means of visualizing and formalizing this visual thought, which extends and explores the different relationships that arise between the works and between these and the gallery space.

Through associative and intuitive processes, relationships and connections are built between different elements and materialities, images and objects that seek to extrapolate to a territory of sculptural installation, the idea of organization and order of the infinite universe of information to which we are exposed in contemporary life.

Constellations and Drifts reflects on the impossibility of dissociating ourselves from others, from what we observe and experience, and the respective implications for artistic practice.
