Alex Hernández-Dueñas and Ariamna Contino’s Total Cartography on view at Lázaro Galdiano Museum

Alex Hernández and Ariamna Contino, Total Cartography, 2023/2025, installation work: photovoltaic generator, air and water filters coupled to a cultivation system

Nunu Fine Art is delighted to share that artist duo Alex-Dueñas Hernández and Ariamna Contino’s Total Cartography is currently on view in the garden of the Lázaro Galdiano Museum. The museum garden is the site for this year’s Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend, which features sculptures by 14 artists, and is open now until October 26.

Total Cartography is an installation work composed of a symbiotic micro-ecosystem made up of a set of interconnected sculptures. Each one fulfills a vital function: a photovoltaic generator, air and water filters coupled to a cultivation system. 

The sensitive devices incorporate a weather station that records and translates environmental data from the surroundings, thus making visible the conditions of the place where they are installed. The structure operates as a regeneration laboratory that sustains a garden, enabling the real-time tracking of a biological process of nature while simultaneously functioning as a metaphor for the construction of a landscape-ecosystem through a technological interface. This data is then used to construct a visual record through abstract works on cut-out paper, based on their own statistics. This methodological approach constitutes the foundation of their concept of ‘landscapes.’
