Lunario

"Maps are a constant reference for contemporary artists, perhaps because they allow a schematic and fragmented visualisation of a totality and let the artist mix diverse social and cultural conditions under on system of representation belonging to the realm of the visual. When approaching her work from a poetic point of view and not with the eyes of the critic, the works of Margarita Monsalve show cartography like a technique that shows changing truths, subject to the impredictability of man and nature and to the undecipherable relation between subject and object."
