Artworks

Robert Cervera

Cervera’s work is focussed on the leaky ways of formless materials such as air, water and data. He is interested in the human effort to contain or herd shapeless matter, which may be turned into reservoirs, music, breath or code. Despite its invisibility, the artist believes the matter has the ability to connect us and, as a result, the work often foregrounds the infrastructure that holds such assets and points towards some of the materials used, such as concrete, metal armatures or liquid cooling pipes. Cervera’s practice encompasses sculptures, musical performances, videos and installations, which talk to each other about flow, bodiliness and material interdependence.
