Double Suspended. Gancedo’s flagship store Madrid.

Double Suspended is the title of the project I presented during the Madrid Design Festival 2024 at Gancedo’s flagship store on Velázquez Street in Madrid. It’s an exhibition project composed of two textile art installations: the first in the store’s window display and the second inside the space, both forming part of a unified proposal.

Conceived as the visual materialization of an aesthetic reflection, Double Suspended focuses on experimentation with color as an agent capable of shaping multiple visual landscapes or realities, and on the relationship between color and the form that contains it on the textile surface.

I began this project with the aim of making visible some of my meditations on the qualities of color that guide my work. To achieve this, I developed a system of simple shapes, capable of multiplying through their various possible combinations and the interaction with color.

As is common in all my projects, Double Suspended is rooted in exploration and experimentation. That is, starting from an idea but without a predefined or closed goal, I seek in the experience of the creative process itself the very essence of the work. In this specific case, the experimentation has been tied to color and its ability to transform form, applying variables such as saturation, contrast, and opacity to the fabric and observing how these elements behave in diverse and variable ways on the textile base.

The installation in the window display materializes the concept, while the exhibition inside Gancedo’s interior space serves as a logbook narrating the creative process in exhibition form. Here, my aim is to unite the object (window display) and the process (interior) as a holistic work. The intention is to metaphorically reveal the inherent and decisive role of the process in any aesthetic production.

Regarding the technical characteristics of the work, it focuses on fabric as the medium of the aesthetic event. My interest in textile art and design stems from a need to decontextualize the artistic object, to transcend traditional mediums of art, and to expand its boundaries into the realms of living spaces and the everyday—fields commonly explored by design and its multiple disciplines.
