Vista Interior [Inner View] presents itself as a parallelepiped display cabinet or see-through cell, where the dated objects are exhibited and representative of the different divisions of a house. The piece is also a true time capsule where characteristic objects of a certain time period are brought together. The blinds installed on the four vertical sides highlight the domestic and familiar sense of the work, leaving the possibility to be presented either open or closed.
The work may be compared to Louise Bourgeois’s “Cells”, but Vasconcelos’s hints to the feminine collective, interpreting two dimensions that are historically attributed to women in patriarchal societies: the housewife and mother to a family, and women as an object of male desire.
