I have made a newa artwork called "Murus Opus," featuring 7 aluminum dibond plates with mounted matte photographs that intertwine with sound elements, capturing the ethereal echoes of the past. They are 45cm x 30cm, and 20cm x 30cm. The overall artwork with the gaps between plates is 3 meters wide. The installation will be watched by personnel from SACO from June - September.

"Murus Opus" is a transformative installation that seeks to engage viewers on a profound level. It is essential for me to secure the necessary funds to ensure its successful realization. As I will be transporting the artwork personally and have a public presentation on June 19th, with the anticipated opening on June 20th.The exhibition's curator has chosen the theme valdarán: coup/golpe. SACO's website describes it as follows:

"Por su parte, la artista visual islandesa Borghildur Indriðadóttir nos invitará a reflexionar sobre el significado de los muros como símbolo de división y protección con la obra Murus Opus. Su método interdisciplinar de trabajo incluye la arquitectura, la actuación y la interpretación, y utiliza diversos medios como la instalación, la fotografía y la performance."

"For her part, the Icelandic visual artist Borghildur Indriðadóttir will invite us to reflect on the meaning of walls as a symbol of division and protection with the work Murus Opus. Her interdisciplinary method of work includes architecture, acting, and interpretation, and she uses various media such as installation, photography, and performance."

During my exploration of "Murus Opus", I was intrigued by the enigmatic greasy marks adorning the walls of a legendary Reykjavík café that opened its doors in 1958 with inspiration from Rome, impressively the owners have kept the place in it's original charm. The rhythmic symphony of the coffee machine's sounds, in synchrony with these intriguing markings - have a hypnotic effect, touching the senses and personally inducing hallucinatory sensations that I am conveying.

Reality and memory intertwined provoke imagination. I delved into the historical events of September 11, 1973, the Chilean coup. The military coup, in the morning hours, unfolded in Santiago. Imagining former president Allende's secretary, making the last coffee - the sound of the coffee machine - the tension - the chaos and the stillness. "Murus Opus" embodies a harmony between serenity and turmoil. The intricate interconnections between walls, history, and what I'm pointing out there. It invites to illuminate the unseen and evokes a sensory experience that transcends the boundaries of the physical, yet being profoundly tangible.
