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.
Beyond her engagement with ecological concerns, Pestana's artistic practice extends to the historical landscape of Peru, documenting the natural elements surrounding ancient huacas. Her installation Dama de Cao, inspired by the Mochica ruler, utilizes clay San Pedro cacti as symbolic markers of resilience and spiritual aspiration. These artifacts, imbued with historical and cultural significance, function as critical interventions within the contemporary art discourse. Pestana's work, alongside that of her cohort, signifies a paradigm shift within Peruvian art, challenging conventional narratives through a mature, existential lens. This cohort, characterized by their emergence later in life, offers a critical perspective on contemporary realities, engaging with overlooked histories and societal fissures.
Pestana's aesthetic, characterized by a confluence of unsettling elegance and historical depth, invites a critical engagement with themes of fragility and loss. Her work functions as a catalyst for reflection, prompting viewers to consider the shared human experience within the context of contemporary socio-ecological challenges.
