The work consists of a multimedia installation that incorporates a series of drawings and a video. The drawing \"Park rangers are not allowed to wear guns\", for example, is based on a large-format photograph that I took in a reserve in the Loreto region. It depicts a section of the forest, which is surrounded by 48 oil concessions. However, this reality is not visible in the drawing. In contrast to the photograph on which the drawing is based, the drawing does not show the place explicitly. It does not aim to show a place as it once was, but to evoke an idea of this place in the here and now.\n\nThe drawings are juxtaposed by a video that consists of text fragments from dialogues between me and the people I encountered while working in and travelling through the rainforest. The dialogues range from seemingly impossible intercultural conversations and conflicted discussions to the telling of anecdotes and the narration of events, while staying close to my own controversial position that I take in the context of Amazonia.","space":"Two rooms in a row: One room with enough wall space to hang approximately five colored-pencil-on-paper drawings (each drawings measures approximately 1.5m x 2m). One room with a wall big enough to project the video in a kind of movie screening size onto the wall and enough distance from the wall for the viewer to look at it. (Depending on the specific location, the installation could also be thought of to be presented in one single room.)","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"Ha-maz-an","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/410352673","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":"Sarah","surname":"Jacky","email":"sarahjacky@bluewin.ch","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"X7046634","address":"Norastrasse 34 \/ 235, CH-8004","city":"Zurich","nacionality":"Swiss","country_id":"43","birthdate":"1992-04-12T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1992-04-12T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+41768198160","web":"www.sarahjacky.com","fileCount":6}
