Avelino Sala Spain, 1972
Sala attempts to capture environmental
collapse from a perspective that unifies aesthetics and critical discourse in Guernica/Fridays for Future (2025).
This project reflects on the history and struggle between humanity and nature
that has led us to the current critical moment. These texts and images captured
on sections of tree trunks function as a kind of memory map that tells us what
has happened at a specific time. A section of a tree that is more archaeology
of the present than dendrochronology.
