THE
MESSANGER
This art project explores how a photograph with a certain type of nature makes
us think and associate about what we might find in a landscape as a desert.
A MESSANGE FROM A JEURNY TO REMOTE AREAS
In this project the artist acts as a messenger delivering messages between
“two different worlds” one representing the remote areas and the
other is the civilization or inhabited environments where communications are
held around art. During a travel to remote areas this artist receives information
from different places and carries them to a destination where art is made.
All notes describe conflicts in the environment and the urge for peaceful
solutions in our world, such as this message delivered from aboriginal Indians
in Argentina: “The Indian Community of Quilmes is
exercising their rights to be part in developments in culture and archeological
heritage, a territory that has belonged to Indians for generations! Due to
this background we have now formed a permanent assembly for our land, with
the goal to demand the government in Tucuman Province to:
Activate law no. 2731/1 (FE) and furthermore make senor
Hector Cruz in the Institution of Tourism in Tucuman to leave his post after
illegal actions in making profit of our heritage.
To give us back territory and the sacred city of Quilmes.
We apologize for the disturbances this way course and we would like to ask
you for our support and rights to be respected. CACIQUE CONSEJO DE DELEGADOS
in Quilmes“
