Cinabrio
Existe un metal, el cinabrio, que contiene unificados en su
composición el azufre y el mercurio. Además de los cuerpos
químicos conocidos como tales, los alquimistas se referían con las
palabras Azufre y Mercurio a una dualidad de principios:
minerales antagónicos pero complementarios, que eran el reflejo de
un dualismo existente a escala cósmica. Así se explica la lenta
generación de todos los metales en el globo terrestre, mediante la
combinación en proporciones variables de dos principios: el de
fijación y volatilidad, el masculino y el femenino.

La vida cotidiana de los alquimistas en la Edad Media
Cinabrio, al oponerse a la idea de que el ser humano es o debe adquirir una forma definitiva que
le otorgue sentido e individualice, propone entenderlo como productor de una potencia infinita
transformadora. Las piezas de la siguiente muestra exploran la potencia transformadora del ser
como metáfora de un juego de sustancias que lo reconfigura en sus trasmutaciones. Más que los
momentos constantes y cotidianos de la existencia enfatiza en los momentos límite, en los cuales
emerge la potencia transformadora. Dicha transformación puede ser indagada a través de la
imagen artística: más que un experimento único, Cinabrio busca mirar las trasformaciones desde
distintos medios con el fin de componer a través de sus registros las imágenes que testifican el
cambio.
There is a metal, the cinabrio, which contains unified in their composition sulfur and mercury. Besides the chemicals bodies known as that, alchemists referred with the words "Sulfur" and "Mercury" to a duality of principles: antagonistic but complementary minerals, which were a reflection of an existing dualism on a cosmic scale. It explains the slow generation of all metals on the globe, by combination in varying proportions of two principles: fixing and volatility, male and female.

The daily life of the alchemists in the Middle Ages
Cinabrio in opposing to the idea that man is or must acquire a definitive form which gives it meaning and individualize himself, proposes to understood him as a producer of infinite transformative power. The parts of the following project explore the transformative power of the being as a metaphor, a game of substances which reconfigures the transmutations. More than the constant and everyday moments of life, Cinabrio emphasizes the time limit when the transformative power emerges. This transformation can be inquired through the artistic image: more than a single experiment, Cinabrio seeks looking at the transformations from different media in order to compose through the records the images which testifying the change.
