empty field I, 2021

clay, wood, stones

various dimensons

The series empty field I gathers a various of found (made) objects; photographs, drawings, terracotta, wood, stones, among others. It is a work in progress based on the principles of archive. empty field I arises from a need to "collect objects" as a base idea for the construction of various stories, for a fictionalized study of the "earth". Just as archaeologists take samples in their excavations, the "invisible" man on earth also excavates and takes samples to be later analysed and archived. The time scale is one of the starting points for the narrative of the objects made. The earth laboratory is a space of fictionalized discoveries where natural materials are worked with.
