Who - 2022

Who!

Site-specific installation at National Museum and Research Center of Altamira – Cantabria – Spain.

Who!!! It is a participative site-specific installation, in the natural environment of the Altamira Museum, which invites visitors to explore it and discover who has been the one who made the first art, the beginning of culture and all humanity.

The installation that was created by artist Andrea Juan in collaboration with Gabriel Penedo Diego and it had originally been set up on May 18, 2018. After four years of permanence in the natural environment, of winds, sun and storms, it has been renovated and reassembled a few meters from the original space, framed by new trees.

The installation has hundreds of basic geometric shapes: triangles, squares and circles that also represent the four fundamental elements of nature: water, earth, air and fire which dialogue with the organic forms of nature.

The mirrored elements that are at different heights suspended from a triangle structure partially reflect the visitor in their journey, multiplying their image and those of the environment, without even knowing that he/she is a fundamental part of this project, by reflecting and meeting in the mirrors.

 

Who!... It is in a giant dream catcher, a catalyst for spirits and souls, a generator of collective energies and consciousness, a dream and memories catcher.

Who!... It is not a question, it is a declamation of enthusiasm, of knowing that we were the ones we made, a long time ago, the Art of Altamira ... We!!!

We, who took care of our environment, who dialogued with the beings with whom we lived with, trees, leaves, grass, animals, birds, worms and butterflies ...

We that had dreams, fantasies, fears and hopes, children and future...

We who communed with the earth, the sky, the sea, the rain and the winds...

We were!!
