To Come of Earth - 2007/14

In this occupation, Bichos is dedicated to the space of the place, the passage in the landscape, an attempt to direct a listening, a look, a collected feeling. As identity and anonymity, memory and oblivion, impermanence and permanence, questions emerge about the way of being in the world and dwelling in it, even in transits. And it is this complexity of relations that makes the place so enticing when we go through it exploring macro and micro-situations, enjoying the possible relations of the territory.

Formed by bodies of clay, which appear on earth or sprout from the earth, it has threads like tentacles which, in their extension, fix themselves on other extremities. This plot created between wires and clay bodies is the link between the place and its natural condition. On the surface, in holes or on roots and exposed to time, these bodies seek authorization in nature. It realizes and accommodates as a text that records the seizure of equal time in the landscape. After the records, the wires are removed and what is left is earth on earth, and time takes care of its impermanence.

In a gesture of insistence and repetitions of the capture of images and senses, between coming and going in ambiences, it seems to reaffirm this material quality of image and place. You want that same dialogue between layers and depths found in the first experiences of occupying other sites, in the intention to keep the memory of the space activated. It is a space in which mimicry is established, in the similarity that certain living beings take with the environment in which they inhabit, or with the closest species protected. It is a search for mirroring in nature as well as respect for our Earth habitat.
