Resumen
Descripción
Este relato visual se produce sobre una experiencia, en la que busqué comprender desde adentro las dinámicas del extractivismo y sus impactos en la naturaleza y la sociedad, habitando por dos meses un contexto de extracción ilegal de oro. Esta vivencia se conecta con mi pregunta como artista que indaga por las expresiones y huellas del diálogo hombre-naturaleza en Colombia. Inquietud que me crea la necesidad de apropiar la geografía desde la vivencia. Así, también es clave aprender a leer desde los criterios de la ecología, la geología, la biología y la etnografía, procurando profundizar en leguajes para comprender esas complejas relaciones que modelan el paisaje. Me adentro en el contexto de Buriticá (Antioquia) en un momento de apogeo de la minería ilegal en el año 2016, con la intención de leer ese paisaje desde el punto de vista de quienes lo habitan y lo modelan.
This visual story is the product of an experience where I sought to understand from within the dynamics of extractivism and its impact on nature and society, inhabiting for two months a region where illegal gold mining takes place. This experience connected with my questions as an artist who investigates the expressions and traces of the dialogue between man and nature. This curiosity lead me to the need of appropriating geography from experience. Thus, it is also key to learn to read from the criteria of ecology, geology, biology and ethnography, trying to deepen into those languages to understand the complex relationships that shape the landscape. I enter the universe of Buriticá (Antioquia) in a moment of apogee of illegal mining in 2016, with the intention of reading that landscape from the point of view of those who inhabit and model it.
