"The landscape is the link between our outer self and our inner self", Bill Viola

PIELES was born from a long trip to Latin America. It invites us to approach and experience the landscape through the body. The sculptures come to life to integrate and interact with diverse horizons, creating a poetic and ephemeral dialogue  confronted to the degradation of the natural environment and its resources.
Precious moments when, the body placed under the survival blanket, enters into a harmonious relationship with its environment. The project is a sensitive and intuitive experience that reveals itself as a kind of ritual which celebrate the existence of these threatened places.
The photographic captures become the trace of this intimate exchange giving birth to ephemeral monuments.
The survival blanket reminds us once again of the obvious fragility and vulnerability of our Mother Earth, but also the precariousness of our relationship with the world.

PIELES continues to spread around the world in different countries and regions to create a global Earth memorial.

PIELES was exhibited at A Seis Manos Cultural Center in Bogota, Colombia in 2016. In 2017, at La Maison de Amérique Latine in Strasbourg, at Pol'n space in Nantes and at La Maison de Amérique Latine in Marseille . PIELES recently won 3rd prize of AMMA PRIZE 2019, jury chaired by Philippe Dagen at the Bastile Design Center in Paris.
