In 2017, Elba Bairon produced the work Sin t\u00edtulo<\/em> [Untitled<\/em>] at the Museo Moderno and, with it, she began a series of architectural sculptures in which absolute minimalism is the way she finds to achieve an expressive synthesis. The two sculptures, being barely defined and built in white, that formed the Sin t\u00edtulo<\/em> installation confront us with a primordial, pure and abstract idea of habitat. In addition to texts by Laura Isola and Sof\u00eda Dourron that analyse the visual enchantment of this daring minimalist quest, the book examines several of the subsequent works by the artist that continued the series. Moreover, writer Magal\u00ed Etchebarne provides these deserted forms with a disturbing family history.<\/p>
\u201cIn this work, Bairon pursues a precise image where the purity of form prevails and the diaphanous simplicity of the lines transcends geometry, which becomes soft, emerging from organic shapes: an \u2018affective geometry\u2019 or \u2018a state of compensation for the curve,\u2019 as the artist defines it. Bairon\u2019s house is not an ideal home: it is the image of a search for the never-attainable balance between forms, light, and dark, an image that, in its strangeness, refuses to be determined by its own weight, because any such determination would signify the ultimate failure of that momentum\u201d.<\/p>
Sof\u00eda Dourron<\/p>
\u201cThe windows of all the houses are invariably misted up. From the street we can see the interiors, the lights on, the families sitting at the tables at six in the evening. In every house around us smoke is always pouring from the chimney and a cold, sometimes icy drizzle falls all the time\u201d.<\/p>
Magal\u00ed Etchebarne<\/p>
\u201cLike H\u00f6lderlin, Elba Bairon asks the question: \u2018Does not silence dwell in the Land of the Blessed?\u2019 And the answer: \u2018Above the stars the heart forgets its needs and its language\u2019. It\u2019s true. Above this whole work stretches an obscure sky in which, like someone guessing the constellations of a starry night, we can search for the words that are missing to set free this landscape of mystery\u201d.<\/p>
