In November 2015 a catastrophic failure with an ore tailings dam launched approximately 50 million cubic meters of contaminated mud into nature. The brown mudflows destroyed 700 Km of rivers in its way reaching the Atlantic ocean 17 days later, after destroying a whole countryside village and affecting the water supply of thirty large cities with a total environment impact that is still unclear.\n\nOne year after the disaster I could visit the affected area and collect that spilled material and incorporate it into my artistic process. A series of artistic works over different supports were produced, including a series of ceramic works, a set of photography works, video installations, and electromechanical objects. The approach explores, at the same time, the limits of the support and the substance for the artistic work, and was guided by the notions of an \u201cinvented archeology\u201d, proposing to produce a memory for what was lost in the disaster hidden by the mud. \n\nIncorporating the residue to my work is an attempt to transfigure the destructive potentialities of an environmental disasters product into creative ones, evoking art as a mechanism capable of thinking beyond the environmental crisis of our current times and produce broader reflections about a misguided idea of 'nature' as something separate from the human.","space":"This exhibition can be adapted to most gallery art spaces and\/or cultural display facilities. The only imperative requirement for the space is a wall able to hold 03 large drawings and a large scale video-projection. More technical information about these and the other works follow in the PDF dossier in the link.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/297177296","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1wxczc2Oi4ME35dEXuJQbz1ZzxB9jc5j4","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Felipe","surname":"de \u00c1vila Franco","email":"felixav@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"YE091072 (PASSPORT)","address":"Portimopolku 4A-5","city":"Helsinki","nacionality":"Brazilian","country_id":"74","birthdate":"1982-11-18T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1982-11-18T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+358451957182","web":"www.felipedeavila.com"}
