Raily Yance
Entropy of the everyday, 2022

CURATORIAL TEXT SHORT DESCRIPTION

 

Raily Yance participates with the work entitled Entropías de los cotidianos (2022) in which he speculates on human everyday life and its intrinsic relationship with entropy, a scientific concept commonly associated with the organic tendency to the “loss” of order in a system. Raily is interested in tracing entropy through the forms of material objects that are apparently different but share commonalities, as a system that transforms until it ends up being something else entirely. In his work, a GIF composed of drawn images, he identifies from the formal structure of the Pali Lele other objects with which it shares formal and functional similarities.

Raily Yance is inspired by a need to address the landscape, he investigates its existence from an admiration of the power of the point and the line, as an element of expression in drawing. Raily studies the relationships between context, object, subject and concept in everyday entropy through drawings and structures.
