BioArt Projeckt

The Planet Earth has evolved trugth the exercise of error and conscience. Man in self is just meat, materia wich transforms it self into live energy only when he asymilates his cosmic and mistical personality. The human behaviour has the power to transform biosphere. As specie man is the most powerfull biological force in existence: consumes, disturb, creates and destroys. Resembles more and more to a bacterium insatoable of resourses, territory and power, fortifying his destroyd nature and minimyzing his creator nature because of his predatory condition. This projeckt is a personal pursuit in wich my coultural rooths and my actual state of mind are the protagonists. Thrugth the magnification of the indiscernible I atemmt to open a discution in an simbolic and archetypic way abouth the escence and purpose if human live; building with the help of images, a bridge of symbiotic relation between past, pressent and future.

PAST: Represented by geometric schemes of animals originative of the indigenous culture “Salasaca” of the center zone of Ecuador (Province of Tungurahua). In the indigenous consmovision art is one of the esencial ways of transmition of the coulture and ancestral teachings, its also a tool of identification and vehicle of expresion. The indigenous culture characteryced by its conscientious relationship of dependence with the forces of nature and the constant feedback trohgth of counsciest energy by means of a lifestyle close to nature and gratitude rituals wich includes offerings.

PRESENT: My being and being, represented by my boddy. My external actual condition, the skin I live in, that covers my being and allows me to interact with this phisical reality and with another forms of life wicht accommodate in simbiosis for surviving: bacteria.

FUTURE: Bacteria who habitate my skin as annonym guests in almos imposibles scales for my understanding who buil an incontrolable life system and according to science are Beings equipped with special conditions in the universe, they are capable of adapt, unite, mutate and survived in any possible environment.
