Our Wandering Continents

In this exhibition, Argentine artist Marcela Cabutti draws on research into geological and historical archives, in which maps and rocks serve as coordinates for a narrative about time and territory.

This project particularly highlights the geological contact zones between the Río de la Plata Craton and the Kalahari Craton in Africa, whose geological similarities indicate a common origin.

In 'Our Wandering Continents' the artist proposes a reappraisal of what we usually consider motionless, such as continents and tectonic plates, to restore their status as bodies in slow and constant motion, a process that transcends human perception.

By preserving the memory of a past union, rocks become an archive; the map a creative fiction; and the Earth a wandering body.
