Ana Holck uses sculptures, installations and photographs to explore space and the issues that permeate it. Concrete, metal and vinyl are some of the materials frequently used in Holck's work, which, based on architectural thinking, creates works that reflect on form and visual experience at the same time. With operations that remove precast and industrial parts from their utilitarian context, the artist also proposes a reflection on functionality, opening up new sculptural possibilities for these elements.
