Julia Rometti and Victor Costales treat nature as a space for political inscription. The fruit of years of field research in Latin America, ‘El Perspectivista Parts I and II’ addressed the tropics as a field for geo-political critique and radical imagination. Developed over two consecutive exhibitions at Jousse Entreprise, the shows comprised handcrafted sculptures and installations – from magical Amazonian seeds and volcanic rocks to photographs of shaman-like succulents, collages of fractalized desert landscapes and animistic videos of radicalized prayer plants.
