TIEMPOANIMAL(2022-2025)
Tiempoanimal presents an exploration of the threshold between the mineral, animal, and human realms — a space that reveals both our shared humanity and its fractures. The exhibition challenges Western binaries like mind/body and nature/culture, inviting viewers to rethink time, the body, and territory as living, ever-changing forces.
Through works like Partituras para parpadeo and Mis huesos tienen ojos, Denburg Habie contrasts bodily and material perceptions of time, using blinking, holography, and poetic motion to connect language, presence, and space. Natural materials such as indigo, cochineal, ashes, and sand become carriers of memory and resistance, blurring the line between human and geological history.
Tiempoanimal transforms viewing into a ritual of embodied participation, restoring agency to materials as ancestral co-creators of life.
