Stone Skin / Stone Skeleton

Crisis Galeria
2024
Lima, Peru

The exhibition proposes a visual and material essay on contemporary sculptural practice that includes a series of drawings and sculptures made in metal, resin, stone and ceramic, as well as a series of analog photographs captured during expeditions on the southern coast of Peru. The exhibition is built around the relationship between travel, the desert, sculpture and a particular focus on highlighting the symbolic character of stone as a silent witness of evolution and human creativity. 

The desert, in this case, is presented as the ideal landscape, an aus- tere, free and infinite place, and at the same time enigmatic and de- ceptive. Travel and wandering take over research methodologies and ways of understanding the territory. At the heart of the exhibition is the relationship between stone and the sculpture that imitates it, carrying with it stories of resistance, resilience and transformation. The stones, eroded by time and natural forces, are vestiges of the passage of time, embodying the ideal of permanence.
