DYING PLANTS WANTED
My plants are dying, I neglect them, and I feel indebted to them. Every time I come home from a trip, I find a new corpse. Shortly after finding several cold bodies together, I decided to confront this tragedy and bring them back to life. To create a plant hospital, not to cure them, but to give them the appearance they once had. To make a workshop of plant taxidermy, restoring them as if they were archaeological ruins, leaving the real part coexisting with the new part.

I worked with household materials like cardboard, glue, and pins, adding these elements to the original structure. I called on people to donate their dying plants, and for a month, I worked in the gallery. The space changed every day until I covered the room with plants as if they were the owners of the place, as if they had lived there forever.

"Se buscan plantas agonizantes" is a piece included in the exhibition project "13 Ideas para cambiar el mundo,” curated by "El centro de todas las cosas_" in Seville. The gallery develops the "exquisite corpse" game in the space, inviting a different artist each month to take the baton and work on the previous artist's piece.
