Inner Maps
April 15, 2024INNER MAPS
My motivation is to create a link between two countries - Argentina where I was born and the country my ancestors came from ( Spain).
“Inner Maps” is a journey of the process of adaptation as a new immigrant from another country on the island of Ibiza.
The installation symbolizes the link between the two. The branches (roots) “hold” the fabric; The fabric represents the map (which symbolically contains the elements that guide the traveler; in this case the map is internal and carries the memories and sensations of existence.
The projection on the fabric documents a performance I did few years ago inside an alberca, a traditional ibizenco water reservoir used for irrigation. The alberca was the frame, “the limit” of this action, and in it I made a large scale “painting” using natural pigments.
It was part of my research process focusing on inner maps; the sky-earth-sky connection as an inner guide.
The installation is a transit between territories, moving through fears or doubts to take some steps towards the new; towards the light.
