Nathalie has developed two artworks in parallel during her residency.
On the one hand, she have made incursions into the landscape looking for ancient architectural remains which limited documentation and remote location have made them go unnoticed. Nathalie highlights these constructions by including them in her ephemeral installation, big compositions made with plastic yogurt containers collected for a long time.

José Luis has collaborated in this work discovering some of the forgotten architectures that Nathalie has worked with, documenting with his own graphite drawings these elements and recording and editing the videos of the actions.

In parallel, Nathalie is making embroideries with plastic beads recreating a map of the seas.

Both works address, in an aesthetic and ironic way, issues that have to do with the human footprint and the vestiges we offer to the future of humanity.

The slow process her artwork requires, links her work with the tasks historically performed by women, hardworking, invisible and whose stories have been relegated to the ephemeral.
