“Objet Impossible”- Duo show
Through a first joint installation, Thomas Canto and RERO will question the notion of silence and its impossibility. This installation will be made from an anechoic structure (absorbing acoustic wall) inspired by the deaf chambers, because as said John Cage: “Silence does not exist. There is always something going on that produces a sound. ”
In a second installation, Thomas Canto will explore the limits of perception by creating a work that mixes mural painting, anamorphosis and sculpture, blurring the spatial and visual landmarks. The confrontation of the viewer with this work will be made more intense by a graphic setting that will create a sense of attraction,
inviting the public to question the notions of possible and impossible. RERO will disrupt this installation with texts to parasitize or extend the various vanishing lines of this installation.

“Temporal Geometries” – Solo Show
For my first solo exhibition in Germany, I will present a selection of artworks that I name “Cubicles” from different series have been working on the last years.
As it has been described before, “physical boundaries created in Thomas Cantos’ studio works entitled “Cubicles”, help force the artist to renew inquiry into landmarks of space, confinement and the architectural field. The multi- dimensional character of light and space inside the “cubicle” of lucite and glass, plays with optical laws, shadows and ultimately the illusions which are created through the interlaced lines (threaded nylon). Within the translucent field,Thomas Canto recreates the same concepts of movement and space as working with his larger, immersive installations however devoid of confined limitations. Maximized by the depths of these works, he multiplies the viewpoints of color, shadow and form by concentrating focus on his original attributes and its indirect play with materials, within another scale.”
