🏛️Temporary cover during Palacio de Cristal restoration
Andrea Canepa's massive textile installation transforms the Palacio de Cristal into a contemporary praxinoscope, wrapping the glass pavilion in painted canvases inspired by ancient Peruvian funerary bundles. The artwork unfolds in layers as you walk around the building, revealing and concealing textiles in a cyclical narrative that contrasts Western transparency with the mystery of gradual discovery.
