"Swarms and Hives."
A forgotten superior intelligence
In Latin America and around the world, we can experience a high cost per square meter, considerably possible and viable for human habitation. An ironic and whimsical circumstance in a world where nothing belongs to us. The demographic explosion, the high cost of property, and an ever-present gentrification, with an overflowing and growing cost of housing and land, force us to change our ways and habits of life, urging us to slow down or at least consider our unstoppable desire for buying or accumulating. "Ciudades Perdidas" is a reflection on this issue, compelling me to develop intricate and crowded surfaces that simulate enormous cities where space reaches saturation as a reflection of the loss of reason regarding the use and management of space.
These surfaces, loaded and cluttered with small wood fragments, sometimes evoke panoramic views of possible cities or metropolises where not a single habitable place remains. Here, the concept of accumulation or saturation expands to its limits, suggesting the continuity of a grid overflowing its confines. Small and diverse pieces of wood suggest habitable modules where we can infer common activities, possible movements, or even sense our shared and inevitable life journey.
