FONDART NACIONAL
During a residency in Licenza, Chilean artist Claudia Müller conducted research on the Aniene River, focusing on water and its presence as an essential element, mediator, and sustainer of life in our valley. Inspired by the logs that the river's current transports along the basin, the artist has built a large ceramic installation, shaped like a hydrographic map.
The work focuses on the relationship with time, movement, climate change, and water. The assembly of clay molds of the logs that shape this evocative river map is transformed by the artist into an artificial basin for new water flows, showing us the river as a temporal being, a conveyor of life, reminding us that flowing waters have no limits or political borders.
