Isabelle Borges was born in 1966 in Salvador, Brazil. She initially studied social sciences at the University of Brasilia. From 1988, she lived in Rio de Janeiro, where she attended the Escola Visual do Parque Lage. In 1993, she moved to Germany. Between 1995 and 1997, she worked as an assistant to Sigmar Polke and studied at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf with Prof. Christian Megert. At the end of 1997, she moved to Berlin, where she currently lives and works.
The expansive black of the textile curtain covers the baroque altar. A symbol of the provisional erasure of life. The black abstract surface in the space describes, through luminous lines, a geometric tension between forces at work. These lines symbolize, even in mourning, a premonition of the victory of light over darkness. The modernist abstraction in this historical interior, with all its vivid details, brings in its conscious minimalism the beginning of a meditation on death and rebirth. An invitation to turn inward. On the one hand, the altar of worship of the originator of all being is concealed, on the other hand, this abstraction feels as if it is not yet the end.
