Tasajo de cachirre: prácticas artísticas de un viajero en busca de relatos y hechos que han ocurrido en el departamento del Vichada acerca de la caza furtiva de animales silvestres.

Abstract

Thanks to lived experiences, there are known stories of a problem such as poaching that has affected different species of wild animals such as cachirres. The process log is complemented by eyewitness accounts and empowering experiences for the development of photographic and video material. The project seeks to develop an artistic proposal of the immersion of the body in the ecosystem from personal and artistic experiences on the poaching of wild animals, such as the Cachirre or Cayman of the Llanos, in the experience of a Video performance – installation. The artistic work will have a qualitative cut, which will allow to collect experiences and knowledge of the existing situation (the problem of hunting), intervening in a participatory way during all activities or field work. Art and nature allow me as an artist to express creativity and thoughts about the world around me, such as the Eastern Plains, that is, the ecosystem welcomes me as a human being and between both we create a relationship that even without being perceived by people, I promote artistic manifestations in a Lagoon, that one is located La primavera – Vichada, Colombia. Experience is a super valid knowledge for creation, given the aspects that begin as a personal story and helps to expand each time to result in a great artistic proposal. Many of the moments found within the work were made with a lot of effort and sacrifice in terms of the feeling of fear, immersion in the water and in a territory unknown to many people of Pamplona, where the opening of the exhibition will be, exactly in the CASA AGUEDA GALLARDO MUSEUM, in the city of Pamplona / Norte de Santander, in the month of June 2022.
