VARIACIONES PARA CLASIFICAR PAISAJES
Visited spaces
Variaciones para clasificar paisajes is an installation
that organize the landscape through assemblies of
ceramic as dispositifs or archives, generating sound taxonomies that describe the characteristics of these spaces as a territory.
The project unfolds the concept of Third Landscape (G. Clément, 2004) as spaces without a clear definition, with abandonment, and generally in the margins of the cities. They are spaces that do not express power or submission, they are unclear. A third landscape could be a barn, a hydroelectric dam, an unfinished building, or the border of a highway. These landscapes have been studied from various concepts as Non-places by Marc Augé, and Entropic Landscapes by Robert Smithson who explain them as abandoned spaces invaded by herbs, ruins, and destroyed environments by humans that shift territory as waste.
The importance of classify falls into the necessity of activate these spaces through fiction, making categories to describe fragments of landscape that are marginal and invisible. The sound is worked as a plastic element that integrates
singularities as categories and set up a variation of this spaces.
These landscapes are investigated from their spatiality, being aware of elements such as vegetation, minerals, limits, location, living beings, materials, and the game of relations that are in between them. This information functions as a starting point to classify and to decide how to work with sound by making sound field recording or creating sound fictions with the found materials.

Each piece links the sound texture with the form when sculpting their capacity of resonance, tone, and timber which enable sculptural possibilities to amplify their sound qualities when highlighting the territories from which the gesture has been sourced.
When synchronizing all sculptures, they create and embody a new landscape where we might recognize some elements, but is through their categories they can be understood.
