Info

 Daniel Martínez (b. 1995, Barcelona, Spain) is a visual artist based in Switzerland, whose practice reflects upon environmental transformation and political ecologies in an era of global shifts. Working at the intersection of scientific knowledge, history, and nature, Martínez employs a conceptual, investigative approach that combines cross-disciplinary media. From a critical perspective, his work explores alternative epistemologies and questions dominant narratives to expand the comprehension of the environment, the sense of inhabiting it.

A River Has No Shore

Along the course of the Rhône river, A River Has No Shore reflects upon ecological anxiety and solastalgia as emotional responses to climate change and its mediatization.



Albedo

Albedo questions today’s technocratic thought as a prevention of global warming: Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) as a form of geoengineering that resonates with past Anthropogenic interventions in the Earth’s climate.


FUI-42

As a trans-temporal dialogue between Alphonse Forel’s late 19th century studies and contemporary scientific research, FUI-42 reflects upon transitory watery landscapes manifesting nowaday's socio-environmental fluctuation.



(H)

(H) explores the paradoxical condition of a polarised but unifying element. Pointing out broader scenarios of connectedness across ecological, cultural, technological, and political landscapes, as an act of resistance for today’s socio-environmental fragmentation.


FAMUSA

FAMUSA, Fabulous Sacred Mountain, explores the iconography that constructs the landscape of Montserrat (Barcelona, Spain). Building up on Roma i Casanova’s ideas in The Unnamable Paradise (El Paradís Indicible, 2001), “Landscape has—deep down—a moral dimension, it tells us how the world should be like or, rather, what it should look like.”
