Made In Germany

Stainless steel, Cooper and bronze. 
150 x 150 x 10 cm.  
2017-2018

Made in Germany is a re-interpretation of the Chakana, a figure of Andean origins that represents a bridge or a staircase. It harmoniously personalizes the relationship between low and high, the earth and the sun, between humans and superior beings. Made in Berlin in 2017, the site-specific work consists of copper, bronze, and stainless steel pieces originating from Chile, all of which follow a 10×10 cm format and are creased along their diagonals. These are very thin and lightweight sheets of metal, which can deform perceptions through reflections, lights, and shadows. This robust figure, of ancestral and sacred origins, is partially drawn out, becoming ephemeral as it simultaneously dissolves over the wall.

Made in Germany was presented for Raue Strömung, the first exhibition of the platform of Latin American artists Kap Hoorn curated by José Delano in 2017 and later, for Like Home Extended, group show curated by Rüdiger Lange and presented at Glint Berlin in 2018.
