Aislamiento en Tibaníca

Abstract

This project seeks an approach to the “Tibanica” wetland, starting from memories, the existing documentation and guided tours inside the wetland that generated a series of concerns related to the way, the surrounding neighborhoods were created and the way we relate as a species with water, waste, and animals; also how this relationship implies the fragmentation and isolation of spaces natural to the point of making them disappear. However, the implementation of projects for its restoration and maintenance have been delaying its evaporation and is for now, the home of an endemic species of frog; which is trapped in the wetland not being able to use the ravine or any forest to migrate. The installation consists of two pieces that have a dialogue, on one hand, there is a drawing, two-dimensional carbon, fixed with alcohol and shellac, a product used to seal wood and that are of natural origin, and that has a yellowish color; as opposed to drawing a piece is a hollow cement wall, 1.20 meters by 1 meter, this the element drags me to the idea of ​​progress, understood as the expansion of the city by the middle of urbanization measured in paved meters and built works, such as bridges and roads that cross wetlands and severely affect them, is located near the drawing and prevents its visualization from afar, just as the human constructions, from the jarillons to the houses, with the wetland.
