TRANSMIGRAR

This installation was created in collaboration with the art-and-science workshop of CAMPO’s Garzón en Focus program at Escuela Rural No.16. It explores the interrelations between the human and the non-human, proposing a reflection on how time, space and scale transform our perception of complex phenomena, such as mobility, and transcend conventional boundaries. The work proposes a process of adaptation and transformation that encompasses beings, objects and ideas, redefining traditional narratives and showing how these dynamics configure constantly changing landscapes. This approach invites the viewer to rethink their connection with the environment, recognizing the interconnection between all the elements that make up our existence, while highlighting the richness of shared stories and the importance of continuous transformation.
