Ana Holck investigates space and the issues that permeate it through sculptures, installations, and photographs. Concrete, metal, and vinyl are some of the materials frequently used in Holck's work, which, based on an architectural perspective, develops pieces that reflect on form and visual experience simultaneously. By removing pre-cast and industrial parts from their utilitarian context, the artist also proposes a reflection on functionality, opening up new sculptural possibilities for these elements.
