"Emotional Archaeology" by Celia Jiménez

On Friday, July 18 at 8:00 p.m., an exhibition titled "Emotional Archaeology" by Celia Jiménez will be inaugurated at the Casa de la Cultura in Las Lagunas. It will be open for visits until August 18. Emotional Archaeology is a project that arises from the personal need to recover family historical memory and its connection to nature, as they lived in a rural environment. For them, observing the landscape and the signs of the earth were vital for survival, since their food depended almost exclusively on what they could produce, and thus their biorhythms were in tune with the seasonal cycles. Through experimentation with artistic photography, I have taken on the role of an archaeologist to document the remnants of a way of life that no longer exists today. My intention has been to look at the past from the present to be able to carry out a plastic expression that allows me to give a visible place to all those families who lived through the harsh years of the Spanish Civil War and the post-war period. In addition to artistic photography, I have used sculpture to complete the vision we want to show of family history as an allegory of the reconstruction of memory.
