Installation

The installation Reinos en traslación: el cobre [Realms in translation: copper] is based on a search for the different uses of copper, an element whose origins are shrouded in mythology, as well as mankind’s alternative futures in this and other planets throughout the course of history. By means of documentation extracted from various historical, poetical and scientific registers in the form of texts, sculptural pieces and copper etching plates, the artist creates a narration which at once hides different stories: a borderland that intertwines different traditions and knowledge, in search of meeting points, ideas, facts and representations.
