The last quiet day
In August 1883, during the Dutch colonization, in a region that later on become Indonesia, there happened a moment that changed the world. It was the day when the world exploded: the Krakatau eruption. After reading some articles about it, I see that this incredible moment has change almost everything. Few days before the annihilation took place, all living creatures were worried for some unknown reasons.
This feeling of silence and uncertainty has lead me to built an installation. I believe that, in the beginning of a great catastrophe, there is a moment of silence and uncertainty: a moment when we (supposed to) think almost about nothing but feel almost about everything. When the great things become faint, mute and encourage a quiet contemplation, then we know, how these big things are coming.

Cabinets of curiosities (also known as Kunstkammer, Wunderkammer, Cabinets of Wonder, or wonder-rooms) were encyclopedic collections of types of objects whose categorical boundaries were, in Renaissance Europe, yet to be defined. Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to natural history (sometimes faked), geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings) and antiquities. "The Kunstkammer was regarded as a microcosm or theater of the world, and a memory theater.
so this is my wunderkammer, an imaginary space of my past, present and future works.
