ANTIMUNDO  (2D WORKS)

ANTIMUNDO (2D WORKS)

The images in the Antimundo series assert that what we call “natural” and “artificial” are indistinguishable, they are part of a planetary whole.

In this way, the series challenges the conceptions of “nature” that we have inherited from Western explorers and scientists. Perhaps the most notable among them is Carl Linnaeus, who in the 18th century published one of the most influential books on the subject. His Systema Naturae introduced the idea that our planet is composed of three kingdoms: animal, vegetable, and mineral. This way of classifying and understanding “nature” gave birth to taxonomy, which we still use today to categorize the world.

The visual elements of the Antimundo series are profoundly ambiguous. Just as they seem about to become recognizable, they refuse to do so, instead gradually revealing themselves as ambiguous and alien.
