Alberto Baraya
Through his work, Alberto Baraya investigates notions related to scientific knowledge and to the instruments that legitimise it; he questions the figure of the “viajero”, the role of museums and ideas about exoticism to generate discourses of cultural vindication. His broader Project, Herbario de Plantas Artificiales (Herbarium of Artifical Plants) deconstructs scientific paradigm, post-colonial societies, and at the same time reflects about daily esthetical acts.
