Christian Villamide in conversation with Agar Ledo
Christian Villamide will talk with the curatorial assistant Agar Ledo about his work Observatorios/nunha paisaxe cun tiro na nuca (Observatories/in a landscape with a shot in the nape, 2025), presented at the 32nd Pontevedra Biennial.
The installation – consisting of three structures imitating an observatory – directly interacts with those who walk through it, and is an immersive experience about surveillance, control and the fragility of intimacy. Through lattice walls and strategic openings, Villamide builds a space in which looking and being looked at becomes a shared and, at the same time, disturbing experience.
In dialogue with Agar Ledo, the artist will explore the meanings and tensions of this work in the context of a society marked by technological hypervigilance and the silent domination of the environment. They will also address the intersections between art, ephemeral architecture, perception and body politics.
Capacity limited to 40 people
