LIME BURNING, RECOVERY AND DOCUMENTATION
MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION: VIDEO, LIME PANELS OF VARIOUS DIMENSIONS, EARTH, LIMESTONE STONES.
2025
Lime burning, recovery and documentation is a multimedia installation composed of two main elements: video and lime panels of various dimensions. These are articulated with a thin layer of earth and limestone stones arranged on the floor, all installed within a traditional Ngiba palm house.
Over a period of two years, the artist carried out research into ancestral methods of producing quicklime in Santa Inés Ahuatempan, Puebla, Mexico. In direct collaboration with Ulises Matamoros Ascención and Chasen Thajni, Casa de Todos, a lime-burning process was conducted to obtain slaked lime. This material was later used in the creation of the work, both in the lime panels and in the essential elements of the installation.
