Manuel Ameztoy’s Pop-Up Paradises
Argentinian artist Manuel Ameztoy has created Paraísos desplegables (Pop-up Paradises), a site-specific solo exhibition in the Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires. The installation reaches 630 m² of cut and non-woven fabrics that hang from the ceiling of the space imitating a natural landscape that coexists with real environments of Entre Ríos, his natal place, pictured upon screens.
