Waves

 

In his theory of Gaia, James Lovelock describes the beginning of life as a thin layer of microbes extending through the seas, the deserts and the mountains of the earth, realising chemical exchanges with the atmosphere, turning it into a system capable of regulating itself. We, in our turn, produce and spread many other non-sentient particles into the system. Abundant plastic residues are decomposed by the sunlight and the waves and spread into the air, the clouds, the water and the sediments, the organs, in the same way that the first inhabitants of the planet did. An invisible company that accumulates across scales.

The corrugated polyester boards reinforced with fiberglass are produced as a basic and cheap roofing, as a polymeric interface between humans and the inclemencies of the outdoors. Its waves grant robustness but also the friendly character of a surface of water drawn by a child. Motives appear by piercing this surface, emulating the eroding effects of the sun and the water. They hang like frozen drapes, crossed by the light, becoming bounded as casted images onto opaque surfaces.  their subtle presence renders visible the place they take among us.
