El tiempo como las piedras - Luna Acosta  

March 31st - May 26th, Tangent Projects gallery, inauguration Friday, March 31st, 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

The Earth’s centre is a deposit of magnetite, a mineral that makes the earth a giant magnet. All migrating bodies, from the most immense to the tiniest, have fragments of magnetite in their bodies. Magnetite allows them to create routes of displacement by sensing the earth's magnetic fields and to find the most suitable places for their survival; in order to know where to go and how to return.

Although humans also have a small piece of magnetite in our skulls, it is not connected to our nervous system and thus serves as a remnant of our connection to other migratory beings rather than a functional sense. We possess a fossil from the center of the Earth within our heads, but lack a compass. Our bodies lack any explicit guidance regarding our place in the world or how to return to our origin.

“El tiempo como las piedras” (Time, like Stones) is an artistic research project that endeavors to create a dialogue between stones and human migrants. By bringing the atomic particles of both together, the project aims to uncover stories about the world where geological events, such as the volcanic eruptions that allow magnetite to come to the earth's surface, the solar explosions that make life possible, the wars for land tenure which all our ancestors have resisted and the violence, that lies in the lack of language to share our memories, intersect.

Luna Acosta is a Colombian visual artist, researcher, curator and teacher, based in Barcelona.

El centro de la Tierra es un depósito de magnetita, un mineral que hace de la Tierra un imán gigante. Todos los cuerpos migrantes, desde los más inmensos hasta los más minúsculos, tienen fragmentos de magnetita en su cuerpo. La magnetita les permite crear rutas de desplazamiento sintiendo los campos magnéticos de la Tierra y encontrando los lugares más aptos para su supervivencia; saber a dónde ir y cómo retornar al punto de partida.

Los humanos, también tenemos un trozo de magnetita en nuestro cráneo, pero como no está conectado a nuestro sistema nervioso, sirve como vestigio de nuestra conexión con otros seres migrantes y no como un sentido funcional. Poseemos un fósil del centro de la Tierra dentro de nuestras cabezas, pero no tenemos brújula. Nuestros cuerpos carecen de orientación explícita sobre nuestro lugar en el mundo o sobre cómo volver a nuestro origen.

"El tiempo como las piedras" es un proyecto de investigación artística que busca crear un diálogo entre piedras y humanes migrantes. Uniendo las partículas atómicas de ambas, el proyecto pretende desvelar historias sobre el mundo, en las que se cruzan acontecimientos geológicos como las erupciones volcánicas que permiten a la magnetita salir a la superficie terrestre, las explosiones solares que hacen posible la vida, las guerras por la tenencia de la tierra en las que han resistido todos nuestros ancestres y la violencia que reside en la falta de lenguaje para compartir nuestros recuerdos.

Luna Acosta es artista visual, investigadore, comisarie y docente. Colombiane, actualmente radicada en Barcelona.
