Elena Lavellés, Remembering the future
Experimentally combining her artistic career with preliminary training in Geology and Philosophy, in these investigations, she analyses strategies of cultural and social resistance in different geographical contexts, in the same way she reflects on the economy, colonialism, demographic processes, the transformation of landscape and the development of capitalism. She often does it by exploring the correspondence between social and geological strata with the aim of revealing the interactions between corporate power relations, the transformational processes of the earth and the extractivism of natural and human resources.
