La ciudad del eterno otoño

Abstract

My project is an invitation to rethink Bogotá as a naturally aesthetic space. A space where we, its inhabitants, despite the chaos, pollution, insecurity, and the routine and hectic pace of our days, can contemplate and enjoy the beauty of the flora, opening our eyes to the magnificence of the nature of Colombia's beautiful capital. I intend to rescue forgotten natural elements. I seek to highlight the beauty of nature by showing that the trees that inhabit the city have a wider range of colors than just shades of green and brown. I am interested in rescuing the autumnal tones of the deciduous trees of Bogotá, creating aesthetic-plastic compositions in public spaces with their leaves, playing with gradients and making the intangible tangible. Similarly, I will modify a space in the Odeón gallery to allow the viewer to pause for a few moments and allow the shapes and colors, and even the smells, temperature, and sounds, to affect their senses, maximizing their task of entering into the act of contemplation, to go beyond looking, smelling, tasting, that is, to allow them to observe, sniff, or savor what extends to their senses.
