What does it signify if we have reached the end of the natural landscape as we knew it? If we are entering a post-terrestrial reality, wherein digital, virtual, or algorithmic landscapes surpass the physical? Does Google Maps constitute a new form of geological stratum? How does one excavate a form of mediation or other remnants that seemingly have no physical presence? The exhibition This way, the traces never die is the result of an artistic exploration focused on the landscape as both a concept and a material object of memory, transformation, and absence. The works in the exhibition depict gestures that do not aim to preserve what remains, but instead excavate what has disappeared. Seeking presence through absence, the exhibition maps a landscape that is both imaginary and utterly real.
