Microvitae
Project 2016 - 2017
Exhibition project shown in Santiago de Chile, Berlin and Florida USA 2016-2017
We have long since moved away from nature and barely perceive their wealth of detail and functional beauty. As individuals isolated from each other, although we divide the living spaces through which we move, the universal similarities of all organisms at most still see as hazy foggy images.
The exhibition Microvitae is a wake-up call that raises our view of the fascinating symbioses of life again. This look passes through surfaces and literally penetrates into the interior: to the core of microscopically small cells, in whose living forms the great is reflected.
Inspired by animal and plant cell structures, González creates fantastic micro-landscapes in which earthly dimensions are redefined. The parallels between the different cell types are surprising and make it clear that there are only a few subtle differences responsible for the endless diversity of nature.

The nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane, is made up of two lipid bilayer membranes which in eukaryotic cells surrounds the nucleus, which encases the genetic material. The inner nuclear membrane, and an outer nuclear membrane meets the ribosomes which are a complex molecular machine, found within all living cells, that serves as the site of biological protein synthesis.
