While in Altamira, we contemplated the possibility of telling another story about the cave. Fascinated by the secret life of the agents inhabiting the cave, the bacteria attached to the paintings, the fungi, the insects, and the water that drips inside, we sought to give voice to the underrepresented actors of the story. Showing the delicate balance between the agents of the cave ecosystem as well as the apparatus separating them from the ecosystem that is the museum, we found ourselves on an ‘ecotono’, an interphase from one domain to another.
To perpetuate the sensorial adventure we undertook in Altamira and toactivate some of the reflections that emerged in our visit, we launched a variety of formal and plastic experiments, some in tentative form, others as sketches or projects in an incipient stage.
