Return Movement

Joaquín Jara (ES)

| | |

RETURN MOVEMENT is a sculptural installation that stems from a series of gatherings that took place in Barcelona and Paris in 2021. Conceived as a pendulum, the piece uses notebooks that contain sensitive cartographies of the event and bear witness of our transformative relationship with the natural environment and the cycle of life in its purest form. Just as forests harvest carbon to then turn into charcoal after a fire, the installation will prompt you to come closer, browse the pages, and then generate an active move that will crystalise on the ground, in a blunt testimony of our lack of empathy for the non-human world.
