“Watanabe’s work is capable of making the unspeakable present and not by pronouncing it but by making its impact felt. An aesthetically pleasing image, or a silence, can be loaded with a calamity that could strike at any moment, while abstraction hides monsters in its grey zone. The tension that Watanabe captures with mastery, namely the ongoing process of slow imprints of violence that changes the everyday until it is no longer recognizable, is characteristic of the internal conflict in her home country, Peru, that often informs her work, and the gaps in the emotional landscapes of the people affected by it.” (Text by Heidi Ballet).
