Yo No Tengo Nombre

The performative installation Yo No Tengo Nombre, features an LED screen cutting through the landscape, projecting a text that oscillates between the poetic and the prophetic. This discourse questions the relationship between humans and nature, reversing the role of the observer: what if it were nature looking at us — and naming us?
