Paisaje con Chemamull
This work reconstructs the landscape of central Chile as an expanse of industrial pine monocultures, a forestry model that has profoundly altered local ecosystems and reshaped the territories inhabited by Mapuche communities. Within this simulated terrain stands a three-dimensional scan of an existing Chemamüll, a traditional Mapuche funerary figure historically placed over the graves of the dead.
Removed from its original context and positioned atop a mountain of plantations, the Chemamüll acquires another register of meaning: a funerary marker not only for individual bodies, but for an ecosystem subjected to extraction and loss. Through the encounter between simulation and ancestral form, the work proposes a monument for a landscape in mourning.
