Leave an echo
2018
In situ installation at Espacio Tomado project, Lima
“Leave an echo” is an in situ intervention project that focuses on material fragments that are part of the construction process of a building, up until the moment it is presented as a finished structure. A baggage of elements that are repeated in its cold walls, floors and unused furniture that show no traces of memory or a past.
Through the use of certain materials present in the transformation of the construction area, the reconfiguration of an uninhabited and new space is proposed, referencing the memory that disappears in this process; but is, nonetheless, kept in the materials that have witnessed it.
The materials used in the installation have a volatile character; where empty spaces form the new status of the place where they are found; and, at the same time, take the viewer in search of a memory that might have been caught inside them. A new version of the object is proposed in this series of three-dimensional exercises, where, instead of remaining on a pile of waste or imperceptible in a hall entrance, holds a new and democratic presence in its environment, shows itself, converses, and lets itself be heard even if its voice is faint.
