About this artwork
Lleida, November 2020. The award-winning Catalan visual artist Lídia Vives presented her new series "Psyché", which so far is the most ambitious project of her career, and in which she addresses one of the topics that we have raised for years: what is it the soul? Where is it located? And how can it be represented?
The photographer, together with the Fifty Dots Spanish Gallery and her father, the painter Arturo Vives, combines techniques in which… photographic elements represent the soma (body) and writings or drawings symbolize the psyché (soul) to address the different theories about the "communication of substances" or how something immaterial like the soul can interact with something material, like the body.
In this way, human silhouettes appear in black, almost imperceptible, like x-rays, while texts, drawings, Cartesian passages, chemical formulas and musical notations appear in gold pigment, in accordance with the Byzantine tradition to represent the transcendental.
