la tierra es plana como una hoja (y cabalga en el aire) by Verónica Gerber Bicecci

“I began to draw the nine sheets that make up this volume wondering what links could exist between text and fossil; between punctuation and sediment; between the structure of a book and that of the ground. The Anaximenes sentence that gives it its title (taken from a fairly free translation) gave me a clue: if the earth is flat like a leaf, each tabloid could contain vestiges, rocks, mineral particles; and, when folding them into themselves to form booklets, accumulating layers. All these sheets of paper, as well as the superimposed lines, propose a kind of manuscript of the earth; a palimpsest of landscapes in which each image forms a vocabulary that comes from treatises and magazines on paleontology and geology from different periods in time.”

—Verónica Gerber Bicecci
