Blending deep earth notes with smells resembling cyanide and arsenic, this ambient fragrance brings us towards the odour of soil near sites of gold extraction.\n\nA series of twenty stoneware ceramic bottles carry the scent. Designed and numbered as exclusive luxury items, the containers are built using clay excavated from Bajo la Alumbrera grounds, embodying the haunting material refuse prevalent in sites of capitalist environmental degradation.\n\nThis unsettling olfactory installation physically and metaphorically entangle us with the most harmful byproducts of gold mining operations that continuously ravage the livability of more-than-human habitats, foregrounding the colonial processes still at work in deterritorializing land and transforming it in commodities.","space":"The work could be installed in varied indoor locations, ideally by itself and lit by spotlights.\nApprox. dimensions are 20' W x 10' D x 10' H.\nThe installation includes 5 shelves, 10-20 ceramic perfume bottles with the scent, and a wallpaper (*) that covers the 20'-wide wall. \n(*)Alluding to a William Morris design using the palettes of lithium mining, \"Patterns of Indulgence\" incorporates logos of the 25 most powerful and contested Canadian Mining corporations operating in Latin America.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Dana","surname":"Prieto","email":"info@danaprieto.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"30821267","address":"49 Chicora Avenue","city":"Toronto","nacionality":"Argentina","country_id":"41","birthdate":"1984-03-02T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1984-03-02T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"4162782855","web":"www.danaprieto.com","fileCount":10}
