Under the title Water Wounds<\/em>, I bring together the practices of four artists and curators for whom the situated plays a fundamental role and in which there is somehow a continuous and formative contact with bodies of water.<\/p>\n

Water is not treated as a theme, instead it appears as a means of dissolution that collects the ecocidal<\/em> and genocidal tendencies of the contemporary condition and serves to connect and examine these drives on different levels.<\/p>\n

The metaphor of the water wound as a surface in continuous liquefaction that serves us not only as means of access to a series of deep conflicts, but also as a possibility of healing and reconstitution.<\/p>\n

In this bottomless well, metaphors act as communicating vessels between experiences and states of transmutation. In Margarida Mendes<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 text, this leads us towards an essentialism of the liquidity of matter that brings us closer to the rhythms and cadences of elemental media. Media here understood as natural\/cultural assemblages that are not only containers and environments in themselves but are containers of possibilities that in turn anchor our existence.[1]<\/sup><\/a>John Durham Peters, The Marvelous Clouds: Toward a Philosophy of Elemental Media.<\/em><\/span><\/span>
