TERRITORIOS INESTABLES

Installation, variable dimensions

2001- 2015


These works stem from the artist’s inability to take legal possession of a land affected by armed conflict. She therefore uses useless legal documents as fertilizer for the cultivation of transportable territories—visitors are welcome to take one—so that their own memories activate collective memory around these issues. “Unstable Territory”, the moss-covered shoe she found in Medellín in 2001, which she has cultivated, photographed, and drawn ever since, returns to its place of origin as an optimistic sign, or perhaps as a metaphor for the precarious, contingent, and elusive reality it represents.
