Danger of extinction
Peligro de extinción (2019)
Concept
According to the latest scientific approaches, we are immersed in a new geological epoch called Anthropocene, that is, exclusively focused on the needs of the “human”.
Currently 59% of the largest carnivores and 60% of the largest herbivores have been classified as threatened with extinction1. While in Latin America, between 1970 and 2014, populations of mammal, reptile, fish and other animal species have been reduced by 89%.
Project
In the exhibition an Amazonian forest is reproduced, with sounds that correspond to adult animals and their young. Together they show a series of “business cards” (identifying) of the species to inform us of their life, their needs and their dangers.
These cards are available for free by visitors. They include QR codes that connect them to a website where they can find more information and the reproduction of the sounds of each species.
