Eunice Adorno

Revuelo presents the exhibition Crónicas de un tinaco de asbesto [Chronicles of an Asbestos Water Tank] by artist Eunice Adorno. According to the exhibition’s curator, Roselín Rodríguez, the show brings together works that are part of an extensive research project Adorno has been developing since 2020, titled The Waters Were Wild, which explores the archaeology of water and its traces within the country’s hydraulic infrastructure. Through digital photography, archival materials, and found objects, Revuelo presents the most recent phase of the project, centered on the artist’s close relationship with water in the city and on an artifact that embodies political and material tensions central to her interests: the asbestos water tank.

The photographs included in the exhibition document the tank’s sculptural and architectural qualities through an abstract visual language that dialogues with modernist photography and architecture. In these works, the tank is destroyed and dissected in order to observe the inscriptions of its interior, allowing it to be understood as a lunar landscape, a fertile womb, the bones of an unknown animal, or the ruins of a utopia.
