Abstract
[spa] Este proyecto se basa en el concepto de colapso como resultado de una situación inestable, que conduce al derrumbe del sistema establecido. Estudiando los procesos geológicos de colapso, establezco paralelismos con el hundimiento de la sociedad
occidental contemporánea que puede derivarse del fracaso de un sistema socio-económico basado en la utopía del crecimiento ilimitado.El resultado es una propuesta
artística formada por instalación, fotografías y dibujos que analizan el momento justo de la caída: desde la fragilidad del equilibrio previo, el juego de tensiones y los intentos por evitar el derrumbe, hasta la caída y el desorden inmediatamente posterior. Es en ese justo momento, entre el equilibrio previo inestable y el equilibrio estable de lo ya caído, cuando se revelan las dimensiones del colapso. Un colapso que puede resultar una catástrofe, pero que también puede derivar en un proceso generador de nuevos órdenes.
[eng] This project is based on the concept of collapse as the result of an unstable situation, which leads to the downfall of the established system. By studying the geological processes of collapse, I draw parallels with the crash of contemporary Western society that can be derived from the failure of a socio-economic system based on the utopia of unlimited growth. The result is an artistic proposal consisting of an installation, photographs and drawings that analyze the right moment of fall: from the fragility of the previous balance, the play of tensions and the attempts to avoid collapse, until fall and disorder that comes immediately after. It is at that precise moment, between the previous unstable equilibrium and the stable equilibrium of the already fallen, when the dimensions of collapse are revealed. A collapse that can result in a catastrophe, but it can also lead to a process that generates new orders.
