Installation: ANCESTRALIDADES / ANCESTRALITIES
This installation seeks to recover the sacredness of life that the dominant culture has lost. To remember and honor our ancestors, all of whose knowledge has been protected by communities that have resisted the homogenizing onslaught of capitalism. A small temple as taken from a future world where the worship of the mother goddess has been recovered and placed in the centre. The offerings around her: Coca an Tobacco leafs, quinoa, lentils, snails, feathers, crystals, water, incense, a lit candle, refer to my own rituals and gratitude practices. Extended on the ground in the form of a snail, offering plants sown by Iris who grows the food that feeds me in Waldviertel. The spiral is one of the oldest symbols and is found on all continents, it represents the beginning and the end, the eternal cycle of life.
