Catalogue Essay
Using fantastic, surreal and dream-like motifs, Sandra Cinto’s sculptural objects oscillate between fantasy and reality. In A Ponte Impossivel (The Impossible Bridge), Cinto has taken the visual themes which she has previously addressed and has created a sculptural exploration of the essential questions of reality. She displays an elongated white bed suspended between two cloud-like structures. In this composition, the bed serves as the visual metaphor for dreams and how they serve as a bridge between fantasy and reality. When dreaming, the body is trapped physically and subconsciously between these two realms, unable to permeate either world completely.
