Mediating the Void
year:
2024
This visual and written series explores the notions of artificiality and sacralization to exacerbate their irrelevance within the investigation developed with the Altamira National Museum and Research Center. As part of an editorial work entitled Mediating the Void – a non-exhaustive and non-chronological accumulation of elements from the speculative research project –, the series aims at filling the void left by the impossibility to enter the “original” cave of Altamira. Through visual exploration, this work creates an additional layer to the ever-evolving process of the co-development of an alternative narrative approaching the cave of Altamira and its agents, human and non-human.
