Plastics

2025

Installation.

Santiago, Chile.

Transitioning from a plastic-made mattress cover in a remote house to an installation at a museum aims to put value into the perspective of context, its weight and effects.

Plastics was, at the beginning of the exhibition a clean plastic leaning on the floor, say, a modern rug. The only written text was the only trigger that will create a mutable piece collective artwork. The question was, once again ¿Qué es el Desperdicio? [What is waste?]. With that, and a white marker provided to the visitors, the almost untouchable, alien and static plastic laying on the floor will turn into a living canvas, a place where people will script what they thought about the question, providing us with answers as wide and singular as they can be. 

By the end of the exhibition, the empty canvas will now be a full piece, that, given the ideas and consecutive action of the peoples that, kindly enough, opened up for all of us.

This artwork is simple, so simple, that is only a reminiscence of one of the founding seeds of ReSources. Anyone can do this.
