stop to breathe

video installation
Natalia López (the queen) and Estebán Sánchez / Colombia

When it hurts so much to see violence everywhere and until it is also used so recurrently as a theme in Colombian art, as a necessity, cliché or ease; you have to stop to breathe, not only metaphorically, you have to get away from everything looking for a place that gives new meaning to being alive in a calm and strong way at the same time. You have to clean your lungs, mind and spirit, you have to rediscover the greatness and simplicity of air, water and earth.

    Technological animal facility, "the one that everyone wants to follow"

    Still image

    M. Angelica Rodríguez Gutiérrez

    Based on social networks (twitter), used massively around the world, I wanted to create the first species of a technological animal facility, based on the characteristics and qualities of the animals and, in turn, on the intrinsic characteristics of these social networks. In this case, what everyone wants to follow is the example of the functionality of twitter, directly related to the rattus species, an almost cosmopolitan species that has spread across the earth like humans, just like this network. This species is very aggressive and does not hesitate to attack other animals larger than it, twitter in some particular cases can be dangerous and devouring.
