"Landscapes". Marcas de agua. Santiago Morilla

Four swimmers are partially submerged in three of the Gyeonggi Creation Center roofs, Seoul, South Korea. A huge pictorial set where the figures floating in ambiguous sleep, keep their heads above the water level only due to the strange shamanic lifeguard. The buildings in the center thus become disproportionate water tanks, containers, perhaps beacons human bodies, with the intention of integrating into the local landscape of the island of Daebudo and date cartography, as if a further notice to mariners they were.

The intervention is structured in several layers of representation: on one hand the standard view, walk to work, so to speak, but partial and deformed, another aerial view and supports distances through overhead display on-line and Google Maps / Earth or the like (after the "time- lag" needed to update its database) and finally interrupted vision of photographic documentation and stop-motion videos of the process of pictorial creation.

All these layers complement each other and overlap. When viewed directly what you see is a fragmented figure, while a space is experienced partial, being almost within the picture plane. This sort of monstrous anamorphosis the distance needed for technologically mediated understanding of their "big picture" and "full contextualization". An illusion of totality full of dips and opacities, always incomplete.

We can draw our own water lines, decide where the level of visibility and where to start dipping, you can even build our own lifeguard ... but we can also include new markers in the global mapping, as if an ancient map illustrated with new treasures and dangers in question.
