THE TERRITORIAL BY THREE LATIN AMERICAN ARTISTS AT ÁNGELES BAÑOS
Based on the biologicist theories on territoriality and the relationships derived from living beings with their immediate environment, the Angeles Baños gallery from Badajoz proposes an exhibition project to three Latin American artists so that, through their experiences and their personal vision, they can materialize and express those feelings of territoriality, and always from the parallelism of the human being with the rest of living beings.
This is the origin of Instinto Territorial, the collective exhibition in which Glenda León (Havana, Cuba, 1976), Juana Córdova (Cuenca, Ecuador, 1973) and Katherinne Fiedler (Lima, Peru, 1982) participate, and which seeks to explore and analyze, in addition to the original idea, that of the relationship between man and animal, contributing its line of argument in the proposal of the parallel development of this instinct, regardless of the species.
With El Enemigo, a video that shows a dog barking at a meneki-neko cat, Glenda León intends to symbolize everything primary, from frustration and fears to the representation circumscribed to oneself of a much broader and foreign environment, even entering into concepts such as protection, threat and defense and extrapolating it to the systems of administration and human state representation.
Juana Córdova, for her part, takes the figure and representation of the mangrove systems and their ecological and geographical position of transition between the marine and the terrestrial. Inciding in its characteristic vegetal morphology, the Ecuadorian develops Vuelo de rutina, a piece that reproduces a coastal profile in which circles made with feathers of pelicans and frigate birds are cited on the base of sand mounds. All this translates into a work of visual effect where the animal and the vegetable, and therefore the limits, are confused to deepen the observation and questioning of the environment.
In Inabarcable, Katherinne Fiedler focuses her vision on territorial politics and the concept of the border through the scenario of a maritime landscape. This immediately becomes a political territory where all the notions and artifices of the nation-state and the delimitation of the territory in order to differentiate itself are materialized, even more so. The lookout pose and apparent control of the dog on a fishing boat on the high seas would represent that animal and atavistic function that reflects the fears of human beings. Fiedler's proposal is complemented by Interior Hondo and Sostener desde dentro, which allude to the permanent biological evolution of the human being.
