presencia
presencia is a graphite drawing on cotton paper about 25 meters long. The drawing hangs from the ceiling from different points, inhabiting the space with the people, resembling a ghost, a presence that undulates between the ceiling and the floor. On the night of September 9, 2020, 13 people were killed by police in Bogotá during the strike protests. In the same week, bodies of protesters were found floating in rivers in different parts of the country. This drawing is composed of ghostly figures that together weave a river without water, without life, a dry river. The graphite used to make this drawing is an allotrope of the carbon that makes life possible on the planet, the same chemical element, but without life.
