Elena Damiani (1979, Lima, Peru) participates in the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale: THIS TOO, IS A MAP, until November 19.

In addition to the video Brighter than the moon (2016), Damiani presents the series of collages titled The Erratic Marbles. Each collage is made up of colored marbled endpapers taken from late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century travelogs, atlases, and other manuscripts. Pasted on these materials are photographs of erratic boulders (a boulder that differs from the surrounding rock and is therefore believed to have been brought from a distance by glacial action) from a variety of geology image banks). 

As associations of displacement and resistance to time surface on the pages that have been removed from their original volumes and punctuated with out-of-place geological formations, subtly confirm that history is not an ordered succession of events but rather formed from discontinuous and interrupted cognitive spaces.
