nexos coordinantes (und, oder, aber)
Catalog of the exhibition.
1) Baltic
A short stream runs through the forest and flows into the Baltic Sea. It is a crack in the earth that pours its tears into the immensity of the ocean.
2) Veins of the soil
Brown coal was extracted from this quarry for many years. After abandonment, nature drains the contaminated soils to the bottom of a polluted lake. The red color provided by the exposed minerals forms a blood-colored lagoon.
3) An abandoned sailboat on the Rummelsburger See
An abandoned sailboat on the Rummelsburg See waits out the winter while frozen water surrounds it. Maybe in spring when the cold is gone someone will sail it again.
4) The shadow of a dead tree on the dry lakebed.
A few years ago, this was the bottom of a lake. Today, more than 70% of the water is gone and will not be replenished due to the lack of rain, leaving the ground exposed like elephant skin. The open wounds of climate change.
5) Deposit bottle
Stacked in boxes, all kinds of colors, plastic, glass, hundreds of them, thousands of them stuck in a bottleneck.
6) Telephone booth cemetery
With the advances in technology, telephone booths lost their usefulness in a short period of time. Those boxes that were used to connect people and even used by some to shelter from the cold and rain now lie piled up in a lost corner far from the city.
nexos coordinantes (und, oder, aber)
From a distance, boundaries blur. Multiple perspectives intertwine and engage in dialogue, forming a series of suspended fragments. Nexos coordinantes (und, oder, aber) is an exploration of encounters and contrasts, where images add up, oppose each other, or slip between possibilities.
Geography transforms into a visual language where chance and structure coexist. Lines, textures, and forms emerge as open signs, detached from judgments or conventions. It is from afar that unexpected connections reveal their meaning—a silent order that can only be seen from above.

7) Bristol Beach
“La Bristol” is one of the most popular beaches on the Argentine Atlantic coast, and one of the most traditional in the city of Mar del Plata. There is no Argentinean who has ever spent a summer in Mar del Plata, and who has not lived at least one day the experience of being in the Bristol Beach.
8) Atacama Cemetery
The Atacama Desert stretches across the Norte Grande of Chile and covers an area of approximately 105,000 km². This cemetery is located in the city of San Pedro de Atacama. The color of the desert soil is only altered by tombs and crosses that line up neatly.
9) The asparagus harvest.
Bent over, the workers gather asparagus from the soil while a strange machine advances alongside them, ready to collect their harvest. Hour after hour, the scorching sun beats down on their backs. The asparagus harvest is short, but the work to obtain it is harsh.
10) The eye of nature
Berlin can have very unusual natural landscapes for a big city, in that limit between rural and nature, a tree grows in the middle of a corn field that, playing with sunlight and shadows, is drawn in the shape of an eye.
11) Berlin Wall Trail
Trees on one side and the other of the wall. They grew separately, year after year, different but similar, without mixing their branches as in a sort of parallel world. Now they are separated only by a path. Their foliage may look different, but in the end they all find their greenery at the same time of the year.
12) Pedestrian bridge over the Arrayanes River
This suspension bridge (also known as Pasarela) crosses the Arrayanes River, in the region belonging to Los Alerces National Park, in Chubut, Patagonia Argentina.
This National Park has an area of almost 260,000 ha and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2017.
This hanging footbridge allows you to admire the majestic beauty of this crystal clear river, surrounded by mountains and inhabited by a unique biodiversity.
13) Treptow memorial
The shapes, the lines, the curves, a face, perhaps eyes, the monumental Soviet architecture at its best.
