Bengal tiger hidden in the texture of the landscape
a few seconds away
before disturbing its surface
leaping to the opposite side of the frame
towards that static plane
In the process of falling apart
where the elephant was.
Now a wall, a rope, an arrow.

Cabinet 44 is a hybrid space that functions mainly as a studio extension for founding artists and aims to develop organically into a space dedicated to projects, exchanges and dialogues between artists.
As a studio extension, Cabinet 44 has the attention directed to the process: the conceptual-formal permutations specific to the intermediate stages of the projects, the experiments and searches between fixations / exhibitions.
