Artist Jessica Briceño Cisneros was recently featured in an interview with Revista Abismo, where she reflects on the conceptual foundations of her practice and the ongoing research that has shaped her work around architecture, water, memory, and territory.
Titled “¿Qué hay detrás de la arquitectura del agua?”, the conversation explores the artist’s long-standing interest in what she describes as “water architectures”: structures, infrastructures, and urban remnants that reveal broader social, political, and emotional histories. Through sculpture, installation, and spatial interventions, Briceño investigates the tensions between permanence and fragility, monumentality and decay, often focusing on modernist architectural forms and their relationship to collective memory.
Throughout the interview, the artist discusses how her work navigates ideas of belonging, displacement, and transformation, while examining the symbolic and material presence of water as both a cultural and architectural force. These concerns have become a defining thread within a practice that continuously moves between construction and erosion, absence and presence.
The feature offers further insight into Briceño’s evolving body of work and her contribution to contemporary conversations surrounding landscape, infrastructure, and the poetics of the built environment.
