The piece embodies the paradoxes of destruction and creation, desolation and shelter. Cast from 50 kilograms of recycled aluminum, this piece unfolds as a metal topography, where the surface mimics an alien landscape, both inviting and forbidding. It evokes lava, flowing and freezing in time to create a terrain that is at once a testament to fluidity and permanence. The choice of aluminum, a material born from the earth, then discarded only to be reborn in fire, speaks to cycles of consumption and rebirth. This landscape is not benign. It whispers tales of toxic infertility, of lands scarred by human touch, yet it also holds spaces of refuge— caves and crevices that offer shelter in the midst of desolation.

Elena Rocabert (Madrid) operates at the crossroads of art and architecture. Her recent work focuses on sculptural production and scenography, employing these mediums to weave narratives and processes around cycles, rebirth, and the paradoxes of destruction and creation. In her creations, Rocabert employs fiction with a vision leaning toward the dystopian and post-natural, as a critique of contemporary society. She is particularly captivated by the interplay of social ecologies and material exploration, dedicated to revealing the invisible elements within all narratives.

 

Currently, she is developing an artistic research initiative in collaboration with Thyssen Bornemissa TBA21 and the Altamira Museum and Research Center. Intrigued by the profound temporal dimensions embo-died within this nature-cultural nexus, probing beyond human-centric viewpoints to embrace more-than-human perspectives.

She is also a lecturer for the Experimentation module in the Master's program in Textile Design and New Materials at IED.

 

Rocabert completed her studies in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (ETSAM) in 2019. She collaborated with art studios in Berlin such as Tomás Saraceno in 2017 for the exhibition On Air at Palais de Tokyo and spent two years as part of the design and art production team for Olafur Eliasson, working on exhibitions like Symbiotic Seeing at Kunsthaus Zurich and Sometimes the River is the Bridge at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

Between 2021 and 2024, she was part of the curatorial team at Matadero Madrid.
