Anthropocene Serie

Anthropocene Serie

Each work in this series is divided into three parts and a fourth that is a radicalization of pictorial practive. This first work is a printed gogle earth image or rather the map/image processed by a technological object that expands our phenomenological experience of the world. The image further breaks with the limtations of human perception.

In a second moment, news related to an environmental crisis appears (the google maps show`s their place). Here color-tests are performed for the third point. In this third segment of the work a pantone painting is carried out, replacing colors from the google earth map as if it were a color matching (a reference to Francis Alys, with the video Color Matching, 2016).

It is thus that the fourth work reveals itself. As this point the painting is nothing more than an artifice that selects colors from the map and reproduces them.

The theme (Anthropocene) proves various limits to an expression in painting. These are revealed in this mere thecnical exercise as if it were an absurd action. Painting, per se, becomes absurd in the face of the world`s dilemma.
