Abstract
Como parte del Land Art, las esculturas earthworks son uno de los tipos escultóricos más soprendentes, que se inician a principio de los sesenta, una década con eventos de escala planetaria: mayo del 68, las protestas masivas contra la guerra de Vietnam, la llegada del ser humano a la Luna… Las esculturas earthworks son un tipo de escultura abstracta predominantemente de base inorgánica, que consta principalmente de tierra o rocas con formas y estructuras mínimamente procesadas, tamaño humano o sobrehumano, hechas con métodos manuales o utilizando maquinaria pesada, que pueden encontrarse en exteriores (desiertos, minas, ruinas industriales…) o interiores; en todo caso combinando tres dimensiones: material, procesual y conceptual espacio-temporal. Estoy interesado en este tipo de escultura porque están relacionadas directamente con la condición geológica del terreno en donde se construyen, en los materiales y procesos empleados, y en la geodinámica transformadora del paisaje inorgánico...

I'm interested in earthworks sculptures because they are actively involved in geological condition of the field where they are built, in the materials and processes used in its construction, and in the geodynamics transforming the inorganic landscape...
