In this installation titled \u00abDead by Plastic (Extended Version)\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0we offer a highly visual representation of a daily apocalypse: the rampant consumption of plastics.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project stems from an idea we implemented in 2019<\/a>, guerrilla-style as we like to do, to protest the ineffective outcome of the COP25 World Climate Summit held in Madrid.<\/p>\n

Now, with more imaginative resources and a fair dose of irony, we envision a massive version that effectively illustrates how humanity, in its relentless pursuit of consumerism, has turned plastic into an inseparable, omnipresent companion as difficult to abandon as a bad habit. A toxic life companion that is taking over our ecosystem and embedding itself within our bodies.<\/p>\n

The bodies that make up this work will be created from plastic collected from the local environment where we will work and represent a human being who has succumbed to their own creation. They float, lie in the streets, occupy museum spaces, soar above our heads; wherever they are placed, the vision remains the same: large, motionless bodies, glowing from within, filled with bottles, wrappers, and plastic fragments that form a menacing mass of waste displayed as monumental reminders of excess.<\/p>\n

As spectators and participants, we do not just see the work: we nurture it. We invite neighbors to contribute their plastics, inserting them into the bodies that light up the night with a glow that could easily be mistaken for a holiday attraction. Thus, the installation becomes an interactive piece that we build together, reflecting our undeniable contribution to the accumulation of waste.<\/p>\n

Each body is constructed following patterns that, when sewn, form human figures, like a rigid and semi-transparent fabric suit that holds its shape and reveals what it contains inside, taking the form of an enormous mass of plastic waste.<\/p>\n

The internal light casts an unsettling glow that illuminates the containers, drawing attention and forcing us to confront both the beauty and the horror.<\/p>\n

The piece is relatively simple to create: it requires a more or less detailed human body pattern and a strong, transparent fabric that, as it fills with thousands of containers, takes on a well-defined and human-like shape. Additionally, large amounts of plastic material and powerful lights will be housed inside.<\/p>\n

These luminous figures can appear lying down, in museums, occupying streets, floating on water surfaces, suspended in the sky, or crawling over a facade or any significant public space, reminding us of what we are and, worse, what we will become: self-destructive beings who exploit and degrade the environment without flinching.<\/p>\n

When the lights go out, one question will remain: how long will we continue to fill ourselves with plastic before we ourselves become part of the installation?<\/p>\n

The piece is highly relevant, as it invites viewers to pause before such a surreal scene, to observe, and to spark debate. More than just a light piece, we want it to be a visual reminder that our daily choices have catastrophic consequences for the future.<\/p>\n

For all these reasons, we are eager to bring it to life, in any of its endless versions…<\/p>\n

En esta instalaci\u00f3n titulada \u00abMuertos por Pl\u00e1stico (versi\u00f3n extendida)\u00bb<\/strong>, ofrecemos una representaci\u00f3n muy visual de un apocalipsis cotidiano: el consumo desenfrenado de pl\u00e1sticos.<\/p>\n

Parte de una idea que llevamos a cabo en 2019<\/a>, al estilo guerrilla que tanto nos gusta, para protestar por lo poco efectiva que hab\u00eda sido la Cumbre Mundial del Clima COP25, celebrada en Madrid.<\/p>\n

Ahora, con mas recursos imaginativos y cantidad de iron\u00eda , imaginamos una versi\u00f3n masiva que nos sirva para ilustrar de manera muy efectiva, c\u00f3mo la humanidad, en su af\u00e1n consumista, ha convertido al pl\u00e1stico en un compa\u00f1ero inseparable, omnipresente, y tan dif\u00edcil de abandonar como un mal h\u00e1bito. Un compa\u00f1ero de vida nocivo, que se esta apoderando de nuestro ecosistema y se aloja en nuestro organismo.<\/p>\n

Los cuerpos que componen esta obra, estar\u00e1n hechos de pl\u00e1stico recolectado del entorno cercano en el que trabajaremos, y representan a un ser humano que ha sucumbido a su propia creaci\u00f3n. Flotan, reposan en las calles, ocupan espacios muse\u00edsticos, vuelan sobre nuestras cabezas; en cualquier lugar donde se les quiera situar, la visi\u00f3n es similar: grandes cuerpos inm\u00f3viles, brillantes por dentro, repletos de botellas, envoltorios y fragmentos pl\u00e1sticos que forman una masa amenazante de desechos que se exhiben como gigantescos monumentos al exceso.<\/p>\n

Como espectadores y participantes, no solo vemos la obra: la nutrimos. Invitamos a los vecinos a aportar sus pl\u00e1sticos, insert\u00e1ndolos en los cuerpos que iluminan la noche con un resplandor que bien podr\u00eda confundirse con el de una atracci\u00f3n navide\u00f1a. De este modo, la instalaci\u00f3n se convierte en una obra interactiva que hacemos crecer entre todos, reflejando nuestra innegable contribuci\u00f3n a la acumulaci\u00f3n de basura.<\/p>\n

Cada cuerpo est\u00e1 fabricado siguiendo unos patrones que, al coserse, forman figuras humanas, como un traje de tela r\u00edgida y semitransparente que mantiene la forma y deja ver lo que aloja en su interior, d\u00e1ndole forma a una ingente masa de residuos pl\u00e1sticos.<\/p>\n

La luz interna proyecta un resplandor inquietante que ilumina los envases, atrayendo la mirada y oblig\u00e1ndonos a confrontar la belleza y el horror.<\/p>\n

La pieza es bastante f\u00e1cil de realizar: se necesita un patr\u00f3n de cuerpo humano m\u00e1s o menos detallado y una tela resistente y transparente que, a medida que se llena de miles de envases, va tomando una forma bien definida y humana. Adem\u00e1s, grandes cantidades de material pl\u00e1stico y potentes focos que estar\u00e1n alojados en el interior.<\/p>\n

Estas figuras luminosas pueden aparecer en estado yacente, tanto en museos como ocupando calles, superficies de agua, suspendidas en el cielo o reptando por una fachada o en medio de cualquier espacio p\u00fablico relevante, record\u00e1ndonos lo que somos y, lo que es peor, lo que seremos: seres autodestructivos que explotan y degradan el medio ambiente sin inmutarse.<\/p>\n

Cuando las luces se apaguen quedar\u00e1 una pregunta en el aire: \u00bfcu\u00e1nto tiempo seguiremos llen\u00e1ndonos de pl\u00e1stico antes de convertirnos nosotros mismos en parte de la instalaci\u00f3n?<\/p>\n

La pieza es muy pertinente, ya que invita a detenerse ante tan surrealista escena y a observar y abrir el debate. M\u00e1s que una obra de luz, queremos que sea un recordatorio visual de que nuestras decisiones cotidianas tienen consecuencias catastr\u00f3ficas en el futuro.<\/p>\n

Por todo esto estamos deseando llevarla a cabo, en cualquiera de sus versiones, que son infinitas…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
