Perpetuo Retorno, 2022

Open Studios, SVA, New York, USA.

Textile and robotic Installation.

Four embroidered texts hang on the wall — La nada y el caos, Perpetuo retorno, Tierra de retribución, Garate de los juramentos — each connected to a motorized mechanism that slowly unravels the stitching. On the floor, four jute bags filled with earth. Each bag has been cut and sewn shut with red thread, also connected to the same mechanism. As the embroideries unravel above, the stitching below opens — and the earth falls.

Two processes, one mechanism. What is written disappears; what was sealed opens. Language undone, ground released.
