Improbable landscapes (Paisaxes improbables)
Improbable landscapes (Paisaxes improbables)
- Systemic changes
'Improbable Landscapes' is a series of drawings; but above all it is a search to better understand the stories and ways of inhabiting that have shaped these contradictory places so frequent in the Galician territory: neither urban nor rural, neither new nor ancient...
This project aims to produce new, different views on a territory in process: to participate in it, to ask questions and look for its potentialities. In a certain sense, we could even say that it is a way of caring for the territory, listening to it, (psycho)analyzing it while trying to read its signals, look for its tracks, understand its patterns and symbols. It seeks to appreciate it in its complexity and find its beauty as it is.
The act of hand drawing allows us to see and express what cannot be counted in words, what may not be visible to the eyes. Drawing changes the way we look, and therefore, the relationship we have with these places, how we inhabit and how we plan to intervene in them.
