“AcompaƱantes afectivos” / Emotionally Affectionate











Year : 2005 This was my thesis Project. It has two parts: the first one is written and the second one is an art work. In the written part there are reflections about art and the art relation with the industrial design throughout the history, the emotional affections, the relationship and the proximity with people with whom one is affectionate or all that means a real home. The second part is a collection of tridimensional pieces called Emotionally Affectionate Companions.










The collection of tridimensional pieces permits reflections about its emblematic characteristics: the concept of luxury, functionality, mechanics and anthropomorphism. They offer to the viewer the possibility to see that art is a flexible net, which can tie together with all postmodern time connotations. This art’s attitude gives a virtue to tying it with different fields, like industrial design. It glimpse a relationship between art combined with industrial design. The “Emotionally Affectionate Companions” functionality provide connections with the objects that we live with; so it seems that the net (art) can weave together with a discipline that worries about usefulness and the physical characteristics of the objects. It is a work of art that lets do reflections about the human relationship with objects and it allows the viewer to discover connections with art. The diversity of all the intensions of this work are focus on the concept of substitute. The substitute of E.H Gombrich. It shows an interest about human affections and about the topic variety that these imply. In these affections we can find relationships and the proximity with the close relatives, the dearest ones in the home (home is a place that means affection), the happiness at home and the comfort that can be established with these people, that is possible only at home.






These pieces mean a collection of emotional affections, memories, comforts, customes, loving acts, persons or routine situations, like walking hand in hand, sleeping between dad and mom or when someone takes care of you when you are sick. The “Emotionally Affectionate Companions” had made as a group; they are a collection of art pieces, or maybe a collection of affections, remembers, commodities, homes, customs, love acts, persons or daily situations like walking hand in hand, sleeping between dad and mom or when someone takes care of you when you are sick, or the restless excite noise of the parents in their child school shows, this ideas born from the Jean Braudillard connotation of collection.



None.Performance.


Place : Au Bon Pain. 1100 Massachusetts. Ave Cambridge MA 02138-5218. U.S.A. Medium : Performance. Date : 2003. 8 March. 4:00 p.m. Usually all the customers of this store eat every day the same food. They have the same daily habits everyday of their lives, but one day in March they got stress because they found all the containers and products of this place turned so they couldn’t see the label. The crowd who usually has coffee feels confused and their routine has a strange break. They lost the usual “consumismo” seduction
