El nuevo dorado. 2014
Instalación, steel sheet, fiberglass, rod, scourer gilded with 24-carat gold leaf, 13 x 6 x 3 m
Large format installation that, arranged as a scenography without actors, exposes the tension between the beauty of a large group of victoria regia - the largest aquatic plant in the world, which grows alone in the Amazon amidst the decadent abandonment of a gigantic mining container, which hides in its interior the great Amazon basin in the form of a mythical animal entity, covered in 24 carat gold leaf.
