Reconstrucción Installation

Reconstructión is a project by Nathalie Rey that hybridizes production and exhibition of the work Composición con restos de peluches IV (cell) which consists in its complete version in a circular space of approximately 5.5 m in diameter (interior) delimited by 12 canvases in which are sewn small pieces of multicolored fabric from the dismemberment of hundreds of stuffed animals.

The term “reconstruction” refers to three distinct aspects of the project. The first, prior to the project itself, corresponds to the work of manipulating the stuffed animals, which consists of a cycle of deconstruction and reconstruction, in which the stuffed animals are completely unpicked and stripped of their non-textile attributes, then sewn together again according to different configurations.
