About The Artwork
Ecocidio (2018) es un proyecto que consiste en una serie de grabados que toma como punto de partida el término que da nombre a este proyecto, el cual, hace referencia a un deterioro a nivel general del ambiente en una zona determinada. Esta serie reflexiona sobre la pérdida de memoria sobre eventos, en este caso el derrame de petróleo ocurrido en el pozo Lizama 158 de Ecopetrol en el corregimiento La Fortuna (Santander-Colombia) en marzo de 2018 y sus afecciones en la fauna local. Del pozo Lizama 158 de Ecopetrol en el corregimiento La Fortuna (Santander), emanaron cerca de 16.000 barriles de crudo, lodo y agua cada día, y que se estima que a la quebrada La Lizama y Caño muerto llegaron unos 550 barriles de hidrocarburos que contaminaron las aguas. Este desastre ambiental afecto cientos de animales que habitan en la zona. Aunque este evento fue de gran importancia y reportado por muchos personas, medios y redes sociales, pasados unos días se perdió en medio de las nuevas noticias. Así surge esta serie que intenta grabar en la memoria la imagen, las siluetas de las miles de víctimas de este desastre. El grabado fue realizado sobre disquetes, inicialmente haciendo alusión a materiales derivado del crudo, así como por su forma, que recuerda el icono que usualmente, se utiliza en los programas de office (Word, Excel, etc) para “grabar” y conservar un documento. El resultado del grabado de las imágenes de los animales afectados sobre los disquetes podría considerarse un fósil, una huella, un documento de la vida de estas especies, de un organismo petrificado.

Ibon Herrera is an artist, she holds a degree in Plastic and Visual Arts from the Santo Tomás University. Biological and digital memory are the central topics of her work; memory as a latent body that contracts and expands, a vital beat. Her most recent work addresses this topic by means of creating landscapes in movement departing from the translation into visual language of data. Data comes from seismic movements worldwide and is brought into play with biological memory, therefore, giving rise to metaphors between the pulse of the earth and its symphony with the heartbeat of the viewer. She works with obsolete diskettes, deposits of information and experiences that the artist transforms into a container of images of environmental victim species. Her exploration in search of those relationships and untimely encounters -even amongst objects themselves- has reached the antique dealers altogether. The result of this research was recorded in her works through photography as a memory device, and the possibility of memory restoration. Likewise, she uses thread, not only as a drawing tool, but also to weave stories.
