Video wall
Nine syncronized monitors
Somewhere in northwestern Colombia (Marmato, Caldas) the landscape is transformed by aggressive scars left by gold mining activities. This is a poisoned, toxic, and forgotten territory. Fragments of images in the work are deconstructed and reconstructed on nine screens which are organized as a video wall grid. This audiovisual presentation reveals traces of cyanide and mercury on putrid, muddy, waters that, as they flow through, leave behind devastation and a sense of drowning. It is a ‘moral ruin’ that has profound effects on the political, social, and ideological dimensions of the territory.
