Only Geology Lasts
Only Geology Lasts is an installation for which more than 15,000 expired plastic water bottles have been reused to create a dystopian landscape to walk through.
It aims to reflect on a possible future in which the environment as we know it will have changed completely and we will have to traverse plastic geographies and lakes of salt crystals.
Likewise, Only Geology Lasts aims to imagine the possible effects of climate change. It is an undefined landscape that may remind us of melting polar ice or refer us to any of the desert areas of the globe, represented by the central salt lake. These two scenarios shed light on the interconnection between problems and solutions that represent global environmental challenges.
The intervention questions us about the role
we play in climate change linked to our consumption processes. In a global world, where production and consumption are two sides of the same coin, where everything is connected, Only Geology Lasts highlights the need for alternatives to traditional forms of consumption.
During my time at Basurama Architects in Madrid I was part of the conceptual development and editing for the installation in Kuwait.
