Florencia Sadir's work stems from her acute and sensitive gaze on the territory. She is especially concerned with the historical knowledge developed by the communities of the Calchaquí Valleys. Her practice -which we get to know through installations, sculptures and drawings - highlights the ways in which natural materials are so transformed by ancestral technologies that, when they come into contact with heat, humidity or wind, they become pottery, adobe or fertile soil for cultivation. Their production contributes to the construction of the house and the home, to the preservation and cooking of food, to the transfer of water or to shelter. Sadir's work, however, attempts to divert these processes from their functional nature and to display the forms of these objects in their raw form: with a minimalist gaze and true to her conceptual background, Sadir has created stripped-down installations to reveal orders, textures, patterns and methods.
