Pascual Sisto is a Spanish artist (born in 1975) who lives and works in Los Angeles for over ten years. Pascual Sisto's body of work is an attempt to visualize liminality through repetition, manipulation and interruption. These disruptions are seen as the liminal states in otherwise constant modes of presence. The work focuses on the transitional and uncertain phase of several objects undergoing a rite of passage in which their normal condition and function is altered, leaving them in a suspended "betwixt and between" state. The sense of purpose and identity dissolves, bringing about disorientation.
For the exhibition at KIBELA, Pascual presents "28 Years in the Implicate Order" (2004). 28 red balls bounce up and down in a chaotic random order until the point where they all bounce at the same precise moment and then resume to go back into chaos.

She graduated at Fine Art School of Toulon (ESART) in 2006 and then got involved into "Sextant et Plus" Studio (Marseille, Fr). Her art activities and researches are mainly based on transdiciplinary and cross over practices.
For this show, she presents "Espace d’exposition" - Exhibition space- (2005) an 8’42’’ long video in which she monotonically declaims scraps of sentences that she heard and collected during art workshops.
