Campo de Color. 2012 – 2013
Installation, various pigments and spices
Falcone covered the floor with hundreds of clay pots filled with cocoa, cayenne, chilli, achiote, pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, thyme, mustard, curry, paprika and more. While the routes of the spices linked Asia to the ports of Venice in the Middle Ages, Campo de color completes the cartographic picture by drawing in the palette of flavours from the New World.
The video in the background belongs to a work by Martín Sastre (Uruguay).
