Menu :: Alia :: The bark of things

Protective layer of the living wood, the bark is removed from the electric poles timber and replaced by those marks, staples and nails, medium of meaning and messages, pamphlets and posters, torn off and burnt as time goes by to only leave those remnants as many wounds and postmortem stigmata.
That appropriation of nature by culture is only a continuation, dialogue between what was and what has become, slow process of a medium which story is rooted in its material, marks of an ongoing and repeating cycle, posting then lifting, stapling then burning, again and again, to lead to that particular and three-dimensional patina of that slow vehicle of the senses, motionless carrier of local news.
