Live and work in Paris

Angela Detanico & Rafael Lain adopt language as the subject and object of their work. A poetics that presents the world seen from its own codes of perception and understanding. Their largely conceptual works employ the use of sound, graphics, text, video, and other traditional art mediums within their installations. They represent a rigorous use of formalism and a refined use of visual and written poetry.

Their work reflects their joint fascination with the human ability to contemplate the world around them and beyond. Imbued with scientific, mathematical and literary references, their work applies themes of time, space, memory and the infinite beyond.

The series Palavras Compostas was part of a performance with a comprehensive staging environment in which several related works came together under the title Two Voices. The project constituted a framework within the Tlön Projects' Satellite Programme .

Two words, antonyms, create a complementary assemblage both mentally and visually.
