New Doors to Understanding Smallness
Rapainú

Rapainú is an artist from Córdoba who lives in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. He came to ´ace thanks to the Semillero 2024 grant (in collaboration with the Williams Foundation), which allowed him to continue developing his series New Doors to Understanding Smallness. This series is based on images of medicinal plants taken with an electron microscope that turn them into abstractions, or, at least, into multifocal images belonging to other realms.

Throughout his residency, Rapainú experimented with printmaking and graphic techniques until he found a format that would allow him to communicate his project in the best possible way, which included projections on paper as well as printed editions.
