and a red bucket and a wasteland
Co-authorship of Raquel Álvarez
Single-channel HD projection 16’ + 4 visual maps + Textile set
A trace of earth and water is etched across the ground, the skin, and the clothes. The hoe, the rake, and the bucket of water touch, strike, soak, and erode this non-place inhabited by two wandering figures who drift and cross paths.
This work observes how the body becomes an archive of the bonds that traverse it, approaching it as a territory in which affects, frictions, and mutual transformations are imprinted. Body, emotion, and memory are understood as porous surfaces, shaped by contact and by the mutations that emerge through relation with the other. To capture this relational dimension, the piece employs two points of view —one ground-level and one aerial— allowing for a documentation of the physicality of gesture and the geometry of movement.
The installation consists of a single-channel projection and five maps that document the performers’ movements through space, as well as the marks that the environment leaves on the fabrics carried along their passage.
