Florencia Levy at Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento

Former artist-in-residence Florencia Levy is showing her installation 'Lugar Fósil' as part of the exhibition 'Qué hacer?/a pesar de todo' curated by Gabriela Golder and Andrés Denegri at this year's Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento in Buenos Aires. The installation is still on show until December 22nd. 

Some 2,300 million years ago, when oxygen began to be a frequent element in the atmosphere, nuclei of complex cells containing hereditary material began to form. Emissions of greenhouse gases, oil spills, acid rain, annihilation of animals, the fossil fuel-based economy: the catastrophe and its representation policies are not anonymous. Today, humanity became a geological agent with the ability to generate an impact on the planet similar to that of tectonic movements, the collision of asteroids and the eruption of volcanoes; the impact is so profound that probably our existence will be recognized as a layer of different stratification, sometime after our extinction.

From documentary material and archive images, Lugar Fósil builds a set design on a dystopian narrative, based on different testimonies about environmental and economic phenomena of the last 40 years in different cities of China.
