In Infinite Stairs, Manuel Calderón continues his exploration of the relationship between body, architecture, and drawing. Taking advantage of the verticality of the paper, the artist schematically draws the profile of stairs repeated to suggest the structure of a building. Through drawing and looping digital animation, Calderón introduces a character multiplied, endlessly ascending these stairs.
The movement doesn't seek a specific destination but creates a journey without an endpoint. The multiplication of the individual further implies a loss of singularity, highlighting the anonymous condition imposed by repetitive and standardized architecture. Thus, Infinite Stairs investigates this architectural structure, significant both for its practical function and symbolic meaning, immersed in a duality between the metaphorical promise of ascent and the physical reality of endless repetition.
