Ezequiel Pini aka Six N. Five
“Capsule” selection
Participating artists
Ezequiel Pini of Six N. Five curates a selection of his most recent oeuvres, intertwining the natural and the digital elements into a meditative tapestry of space.
Award-winning Argentinian digital artist and designer Six N. Five returns to Load Gallery with a show of a peculiar format — a capsule. The word, being associated with limited-edition designer collections, actually implies not “limited” but “focused” for the artist, who offers a rare deep dive into his latest works, including "Flow," "Species," "Circle," and "Memories of Tomorrow” among others. The pieces are products of Pini’s long-term fascination with concepts of time, nature and its behaviours in alternative realities — including the geometrical world of sharp angles and grids — and the boundaries between the real and the imaginary, created over 4 years of dedicated artmaking. With Six N. Five’s notoriously meticulous approach, the show is crafted to progressively immerse the viewer into the altered worlds, where things are not as they seem, to the point where reality appears as a copy.
'Capsule' is reminiscent of the dream-like layers of Christopher Nolan's Inception. The worlds by Pini, while convincingly natural, harbour subtle discrepancies that whisper of another world—a place where physics plays by different rules. The familiarity of natural elements—trees, water, and skies—are reinvented, infused with an otherworldly essence that, while out of place, does not startle. It is a curated dissonance, evoking curiosity rather than fear.
