MARCELLO MARTINEZ-VEGA. AMAZONIEN

A multisensory experience space whose driving force is water and its ability to connect humanity, nature and culture. Hanging dugout canoes and organic structures, developed in collaboration with indigenous communities, construct the symbolic landscape of the Amazon, a fragile ecosystem that has existed in a state of tension between exploitation and protection since it encountered the Western world in the 16th century. The absence of water becomes a perceptual element that redefines the space and directs the gaze, triggering a reflection on the relationship between the environment and collective responsibility.
