Performance installation with video mapping, sound and elements of nature
Concept
elena victoria pastor
Video mapping by Fabián Villasana A.K.A. dr._.calavera
Hamburg, 2022
elena victoria's naked body gracefully emerges from within the branches
of a fallen tree, brought to life through video mapping, where real
branches intertwine and extend into the exhibition space.
Simultaneously, an ambient sound composition, combined with selected
passages from Michel Serres book The Natural Contract, resonates
through the room, narrated in the artist's own voice.
Complementing the immersive experience, a landscape of carefully arranged cut logs occupies the exhibition space, accompanied by the captivating scent of palo santo incense. Through this multi-sensory installation, titled In Search of a New Symbiosis, elena victoria invites contemplation on the urgent need to reestablish a harmonious connection between humanity and nature, blurring the boundaries between the real and the fictional, while questioning the impact of technology on our relationship with the natural world.
This artwork was created for the exhibition of the Arbeitsstipendium FreieKunst Hamburg 2020/2021, held at the Sammlung Falckenberg Collection in Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
