HOW MANY SEAS WILL YOU SWIM?

by Gabriel Rossell Santillán and Lizza May David - Version for "Motions of this Kind", 2019

Inspired by chants and myths from Mexico and the Philippines this installation displays our dialogue on the ocean as a spatial dimension and relational point of view. Displayed next at the stairways the gallery space the installation follows traces of a Bauhinia orchid tree, refering to trade relations during the New Spain, interweaving images of today with poetry and research to unravel multilayered concepts of time.
