About NI MUY LOBO NI MUY CAPERUCITA. Intervention within the framework of the ELEMENTAL WATSON project.
By: Yeny Casanueva
This work is based on essential relationships that are established according to the internal model of each spectator. On the one hand, the combination of elements, which suggest conceptual links of diverse origins. On the other, the sensorial effect of the cookies above their function as a symbolic object, and the emptiness of meaning that causes a multiplicity of aesthetic solutions referring to the absurd.
On the other hand, the particular characteristics of the context in which the work was created and exhibited test another nuance, taking into account the particular circumstances of Cuban reality, which generate ethical questions about its production value, since they place in contrast the practical function of the edible object, and the gesture of converting it into a purely aesthetic object, subordinated to the contemplative gaze.
The work was exhibited at the Fayad Jamis Gallery of the Havana School of Economics in 2005.

The object converted into an aesthetic statement, which is consumed as a sign in the perception of the spectator, is projected into an abstraction similar to words in a text.On the other hand, the particular characteristics of the context in which the work was created and exhibited test another nuance, taking into account the particular circumstances of Cuban reality, which generate ethical questions about its production value, since they place in contrast the practical function of the edible object, and the gesture of converting it into a purely aesthetic object, subordinated to the contemplative gaze.
