Behind Virgy’s Kitchen

Behind the kitchen of her mother's apartment in Caracas is a small clothes store. In Behind Virgy's Kitchen, Angyvir Padilla recovers the dichotomies between privacy and public space in her series of silk photogravures, hung between metal frames. The delicate portraits of friends and family, partially veiled and fixed in these frames, are suspended in such a way as to enunciate the rhythms and tensions between domesticity, exposure, intimacy and memory.
