Un día todo eso fue monte

Abstract

"One day, all that was green" emerges from the concern I feel about the rapid urbanization that has taken place in recent years in La Calera, Cundinamarca, and how it has affected the natural ecosystems there. I observed that the construction of apartment towers, condominiums, schools, and houses has increased rapidly, sometimes negatively impacting water sources, vegetation cover, and the existence of different species of fauna that also live there. I perceived that in the Calera mountains, the shades of green characteristic of rural areas have gradually displaced, replaced by the grays of cement and asphalt, or by the reds and oranges typical of urban brick buildings. This thesis materialized through an audiovisual piece that explores the documentary, the poetic, and the experimental. It was projected on an installation of polyshadows and scaffolding.
