Curator: Sandra Gamarra's large painting, "Page 70," really pulls you into this somewhat unsettling domestic scene. Editor: Oh, absolutely—there's a haunting, voyeuristic quality. The way the TV screens are scattered, each showing a different face, feels like digital ghosts inhabiting the space. Curator: The faces all seem to be from old films or shows, each little screen acting like a window into a different past. Editor: Yes, and the TVs themselves become almost like icons or personal shrines. There’s a strong suggestion of memory, but also of surveillance. Curator: Gamarra seems interested in how we consume images, how they fill our spaces and perhaps our minds. Editor: The cool tones and the partially empty room really amplify that feeling of disconnection. It's as if the technology is more present than actual human interaction. Curator: It's a strangely compelling painting, offering layers of interpretation on the nature of media consumption. Editor: For me, this painting speaks to the overwhelming presence of screens. It's both fascinating and a little terrifying.
