Rojo belongs to a series of works started in 2015 after working in different places in ruins in the province of Buenos Aires. First, I worked at the Epecuén lake ruins, and from 2018, I’ve been having several talks with neighbors of Ingeniero White who had lost their houses after a change in the soil due to the environmental impact of the coast. On large paper surfaces, I paint with a color that comes from conversations with people that inhabited those spaces that are now ruins. Later, with a piece of debris from their house, I draw lines on the paper; after rubbing the surface many times, they leave marks, tearing up the paper and leaving cracks and holes. Rojo is a color that thinks about the story of my mother and my grandmother and their house in White, demolished in 2018.
