Fernando Casasempere
Located on the ground floor of the London Mithraeum, Bloomberg SPACE aims to showcase the best in contemporary art whilst bringing fresh perspectives to the history of a unique site in the heart of the City of London.
Fernando Casasempere’s site-responsive installation Scratching the Surface appeared to meld with the gallery space, exploring the ways in which new layers can change the surfaces around us and transport the past into the present. The artist’s enduring interest in archaeology as a means of deciphering memories and accessing the past, both ecological and historical, is a fundamental source of inspiration for his practice.
NextShoot were asked to work with the artist to explore his influences, the genesis of the work and its installation in Bloomberg Space.
