The two photographs featured in this space encapsulate two lines of research. From the series Ampliación del territorio [Territory Expansion], and adhering strictly to a policy of non-manipulation, industrial infrastructure and material remnants are imbued with a latent strangeness that shifts the documentary gaze towards the speculative. The landscape is not captured: it expands.

In her Órbita [Orbit] series, the artist draws a cosmological analogy: for decades, the economic, social and cultural fabric of Asturias has revolved around the heavy metal industry with a force comparable to that of planets orbiting a star. Together, the two images form a diptych on industrial inertia. One’s gaze falls to the ground: to the physical remnants of an industrial promise etched into the landscape. The other looks up at the sky, with a certain fascination for industrial brutalism and for a gravitational system that continues to work, albeit in a state of transformation.
