About the Item

Silvana Pestana's oeuvre presents a critical interrogation of contemporary Peruvian socio-environmental realities, with a particular focus on the ecological devastation wrought by extractive industries. Her exhibitions, notably those centered on the Amazonian region, serve as visual articulations of the "golden metastasis" resultant from illegal gold mining, a phenomenon she conceptualizes as "Mother of Go(l)d." In Amazonas, Pestana employs metallic encasement as a symbolic gesture, transforming indigenous flora into fossilized artifacts. This process, while evoking a primal, tactile response, simultaneously problematizes the relationship between materiality, memory, and authenticity, raising critical questions regarding the veracity of representational forms.
