AAP 2019: María Molina Peiró

María Molina Peiró explores the increasingly blurred boundaries between material and digital realities. Her films and installations often unfold the layers that connect humans, technology and nature. One Year Life Strata (2018) is shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2019.

“Over the duration of one year, I carried a wearable camera taking a photo every 30 seconds,” she explains. “The enormous collection of images is shown in an online archive that instead of remembering creates a creative forgetting. One Year Life Strata transforms the digital images into what is likely the ultimate memory trace that will remain from us: the geological record.”

See the piece as part of the Aesthetica Art Prize Exhibition, on view at York Art Gallery from 8 March to 14 July. Find out more here.
