Rometti Costales


The three cut-outs are made of three aerial photographs coming from the archives of the Ecuadorian Military Geographic Institute. These are views of the Amazon forest. The photographs are cut following an optical illusion pattern called “reversible cubes” or “tumbling blocks”, based on the Necker cube, a multistable object of psychophysics that is constantly switching perspectives. This oscillation is similar to the shaman in his ability to move between human and non-human points of view.


Rometti Costales is an artistic collaboration between Julia Rometti and Victor Costales that began in 2007. Their research has led them to South America, and particularly Brazil and Ecuador, where Costales has also lived. During their research trips, the artist duo develop a form of attention to the environment, traditions, and micro-histories of the places they visit. Their work is based on their personal readings of environmental and cultural situations and an understanding of philosophical and anthropological debates on the relationship between nature and culture.
