Guigui Kohon develops her work in a game of depths where nothing is what it seems. We approach and move away from a disturbing structure trying to penetrate the multiple layers in which the artist proposes us to decipher an enigma. But which? Perhaps the key is to invert the terms: light would be shadow, and darkness a space to glimpse a possible route. Kohon was born in Concepción del Uruguay, Entre Ríos, Argentina.
