Fragments of Time: Towards a New Geology by Aina Maria Mata

september 14 to october 14, 2023


The project experiments with the technique of etching the degradation of materials. It focuses on the physicality of the eroded material as a symbol of the passage of time. It raises the perception of time as a human experimentation and seeks to establish links between this anthropocentric time and geological time. In the artist's words "In the end, the stones are part of a history much longer than ours and approaching their rhythms allows us, among others, to reflect on the need for a slow look, the perception we have of nature, our limits or the notion of time".
