Este tránsito de la montaña al río implica otra temporalidad. Por eso tomé algunos guijarros, los sumergí en agua con acuarela en mi taller, dejando una impronta en una etiqueta de papel, y luego los llevé de vuelta al río para que continuaran su proceso. Las fotografías de las cumbres, en su inmensidad, contrastan con la pequeñez del guijarro y su huella mínima sobre el papel.
Instalación — 308 etiquetas de papel con impronta de acuarela (guijarros sumergidos en agua con acuarela), fotografías de acercamientos a las cumbres de las montañas Rocosas (Banff), proyección de video sobre agua. Dimensiones: Dos módulos de 213 × 103 cm. 2018
In this encounter with the landscape of Banff National Park, in Canada, with the Rocky Mountains and the river that borders the town, a silent dialogue was revealed — almost a secret, or an ancient murmur between the stones and the water. That act of letting oneself dissolve, be affected and transformed until becoming a small pebble was the place where I was able to find myself.
This transition from mountain to river implies a different temporality. That is why I took some pebbles, submerged them in watercolor-mixed water in my studio, leaving an imprint on a paper label, and then carried them back to the river so they could continue their process. The photographs of the peaks, in their immensity, contrast with the smallness of the pebble and its minimal trace on paper.
