Process of creation of the project "The path of the arids" of Bárbara Fluxá

Breakdown  "The path of the arids" of Bárbara Fluxá

This video is part of the creation process of the artistic installation entitled "The path of the arid" by Bárbara Fluxá. It represents the positive of an arid mine in northern Spain. The stepped shape of the rock shows the way of extracting the arids, from top to bottom. Bárbara Fluxá wanted to show  that great extension of mountain,  is no longer exists.

HISTORIC DOCUMENTATION

First of all I search the olds maps from that space. I could find some of them, with that information, I could see all the affected space and start the recreation.

GETTING CLOSE

Google earth is so useful for find some places in differents periods. Use it!

Closer top view from Google Earth in different years: 2001, 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2017. The hole is growing and deeper!

BLOCKING
