Janet Bellotto's solo exhibition, Tlali, The Way of the Seeded Earth, is at Museo de la CancillerIia (05/11/2022)
From some of the most remote sites on planet Earth, lonely islands in the North Atlantic or in the Indian Ocean, plagued with stories of shipwrecks and accidents of modernity, as well as miracles and reincarnations of nature. The works of Janet Bellotto appear to be around the idea of the limit. The first thing you notice in Bellotto’s works is precisely that which is not in sight; the human presence, the Anthropocene disguising contemporary post-capitalism as discovery, or even tourism. Here, the island landscape does not show bikinis, glasses, or palm trees. Rather, it reveals a kind of catalog of absences, losses, and faults, which somehow, far from desire, point to the liminality of disappearance. The exhibition Tlali, The Way of the Seeded Earth, curated by Antonio Outon, will take place at Museo de la CancillerIia from October 20 to November 19, 2022.
