The tea was believed to be the greatest of the world, thence, a commodity that can be exported from the colony.\nIn 2004 Carlos Barreiro wrote a text about the Tea of Bogota. He asked Beatriz to illustrate it. He was interested in the history of the tea as a failed project. For the illustration she found one of last trees of this tea of Bogota, downtown Bogota.\nThe sound installation. \u201cTe de Bogota\u201d records the environment around the tree at 3 moments of the day: morning, midday and midnight. The tree is a silent witness of the city's cruelty, while she is reading Carlos' text. In a series of 7 black and white,  photographies of the tree and the text.\n\u201cTe de Bogota\u201dconceives the extractive relation with nature, as well another relation, the failures in our history, and how these failures shaped the historical time, disturbing the sequence between past, present and future, constantly scrambled, for example, by the urban development of a  Bogota. By chance and fortune, e.g. the aborigines tree that boosted the independence dreams at colonial times, survive.\nTime plays an important role in Beatriz's practice. As well as numbers. And here, the use of past, present and future in 7 photographies, refers to the idea of reading tarot cards. Reading and talking with the spirits that left us already, such as Carlos, who died years later after he published the text, and our aborigines, the colonials, and with Bogota","space":"Variable Dimensions.
