Lepidoptarium C0234
Lepidoptarium is an aesthetic critique of vanity and the disproportionate occupation of the human being over natural habitats and the prevalence of materiality over invasive spaces crucial to biological equilibrium. So, through a claustrophobic, uncomfortable and hostile staging, an aesthetic is simulated by the aesthetic and strategic parameters of social consumerism that prevail over environmental conservation policies.
For this project, a lepidoptario was built in a workshop in Bogotá, with native species from the cundinamarca region that come from a careful breeding process, carried out by Colombian families and certified by environmental authorities that are based on principles of environmental sustainability, social and economic development; so within this cube of a meter for each edge, the necessary conditions were implemented to inhabit this space during its short life cycle as adult lepidoptera.
