How fragile is a home—and how does art protect what we build within it?

In Vestigios, Colombian artist Jorge Magyaroff transforms The Art Dome House in Bogotá into a living artwork—a fragile home made of memory, tape, paper, and gold. Curated by Amy Navarrete, the exhibition reimagines domestic life through materials once forgotten, exploring how protection and vulnerability coexist.

Starting from Scraps

Throughout his career, Magyaroff has become known for transforming what others discard into new beginnings. His artistic process is rooted in recycling and reinvention—taking scraps left behind from previous works and turning them into sculptures, paintings, and mixed media installations.

While his formal background lies in painting and design, his fascination with waste materials has evolved into a signature language of resilience. What others see as residue, Magyaroff sees as possibility.

From the Workshop to the Home

One morning, while combining dust and discarded fragments from his workshop with something as simple as breakfast eggshells, Magyaroff created a nest filled with golden broken eggs—a metaphor for life emerging from fragility.

 

From that moment, he realized:

“Art needs protection, just as a house does. Both can crumble into dust—but together, they endure.”

This concept became the foundation for Vestigios: the fragile house as sanctuary, built from remnants of creation.

A House Reimagined

When invited to exhibit at The Art Dome House in Bogotá, Magyaroff transformed the space into a poetic reconstruction of a home—one where memory, protection, and decay intertwine.

 

He revisited what once made a house alive: the people, the sounds, the ordinary gestures of cleaning, building, and playing. The exhibition honors these memories while confronting their disappearance, turning the house itself into art.

 

Walls made of thin paper become as strong as brick when held together with layers of tape. Everyday objects—glasses, brooms, toys, shovels—are reconstructed from scraps, simultaneously delicate and protective.

Entering Vestigios

Upon entering the exhibition, visitors find themselves inside a home. From a distance, everything appears ordinary—laundry hanging in the patio, tools resting on the walls, delicate glassware arranged for a family dinner.

 

But up close, the illusion unravels:

  • The shovel is held together only by strings.

  • The “glassware” is made of used tape.

  • The walls, strong to the touch, are nothing but paper.

 

Hidden within these fragile walls lies a nest of golden eggs, a symbol of rebirth—life persisting through what’s left behind.

 

As you walk through, you realize that Vestigios is not just a house—it’s a portrait of survival.
