On Saturday 29th September at 18:30 hrs., Perlini Arte opens the first solo exhibition of the artist Michelle-Marie Letelier in Europe, who has been awarded a first edition of ORA prize. The project, curated by Carolina Lio, will present some of the most recent works created by the Berlin-based Chilean artist.,Using a variety of media; installation, photography, video and drawing, Michelle-Marie Letelier studies landscapes that are subjected to exploitation of mineral resources. Through her work, she has documented social change, and more recently focused on topographic changes, observing the consequences of exploitation in the area. ,When moving to Berlin, the
work of Michelle-Marie Letelier was merged with coal, a mineral connected to the history of Germany, the atmosphere of the old East Berlin and some of its landscapes now desolated and filled with industrial buildings from the years prior to the war. This mineral, with its fascinating contrast between the black of the material and the ability to produce energy and light, has transformed her work into a game of light and shadow, black and white.,The vision of the artist can be primarily synthesized by "Doomed scape", the title of which lends its name to this exhibition. Based on a dream, the work is a metaphor for the exploitation of natural resources in the economic-industrial capitalist era; the wrecking machine digging a basin, which grows ever larger, eventually effecting the core of the machine itself, and its consequent destruction. 鈥淒oomed scape鈥 stands as a clear reminder of a savage exploitation that raids itself, sucking greedily at natural resources and consequently heading towards a failed future.,
