And he thought, I just came to see the garden. But it had already been devoured by dragons.

The installation I just came to see the garden builds a suspended space where the dialogue between its elements, light, plant, photography and text, generate a soft atmosphere that speaks about the link between human beings and nature or what is left of it. The work is a dialogue between image and poetry that reveals the conflict of the relationship between human beings and nature. This montage of portraits and poetic fragments questions the integration of the being with his environment, with the earth, with the stone, with the wind, with the animals, with the plants. The structure builds a temple, a space of refuge and protection for man and his fears. The work is a nod to the first architectures, spaces that protected man from the inclemency of the environment but maintained the connection with the natural world. The central light bathes the silk strips, revealing compositions of photography and poetry that construct visual narratives that play between the threshold of the real and the dreamlike. The plant turns slowly under the light. The portraits contemplate the garden from which, one day, we came.

Fragments of poems by Alejandra Pizarnik, Carmen Camacho and of my own authorship were used in this piece..
