Leila Tschopp

– Casa Wabi 2024

Community Project

The objectives of the project were to carry out a collective creation through painting with theatrical and scenographic devices that would allow the exploration of different relationships between painting, architecture and the body. In “El teatro de la pintura” the space was explored through painting, directing attention to the body’s own path in space, creating new spatio-temporal relationships.
