HER is a site-specific installation conceived as a spatial proposition for encounter, care, and reflection. Drawing on research into pre-Hispanic cosmologies, the work references Tonantzin as a historical and symbolic figure associated with ideas of origin, protection, and fertility in Mesoamerican cultures.

Rather than functioning as a ritual space in a literal sense, HER approaches the form of the altar as a cultural and spatial framework: a structure that has historically mediated relationships between material conditions, collective memory, and systems of belief. Within the installation, this form is recontextualized as a contemporary field of relation – a space for observation, participation, and shared attention.

Throughout Art Week, the installation remains open-ended and subject to subtle change. Gestures, presences, and material contributions gradually become part of its evolving configuration, emphasizing process over fixed outcome.

The work engages with elemental materials – water, air, earth, and fire – alongside ether, understood here as a conceptual extension of the classical elements and articulated through sound. Together, these components function as both material and conceptual references, pointing to cycles of transformation, continuity, and care.

HER proposes a slowing down of perception and an attentiveness beyond constant production and noise. It asks how forms of listening, responsibility, and collective presence might be articulated within an exhibition context – and what it could mean to hold space together, temporarily and consciously.
