Daniela Rivera: Fragmentos para una historia del olvido / Fragments for a history of displacement

The Windows Invitational at the Davis Museum engages artists in transforming the dramatic expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows that articulate the lobby and courtyard plaza of our signature Rafael Moneo building.

Daniela Rivera’s installation, the second in a series of annual commissions, is born of the artist’s own experience as an immigrant and regards “the loss of the habitual.” She has fitted salvaged doors with optical lenses and audio speakers to explore “the many personal stories of immigration and the loss of familiarity of one’s environment.”  The installation includes an eight channel audio piece designed by Jenny Olivia Johnson.
