Alberto Baraya’s works carry out questions around the notion of travel, post colonialism and exoticism as discourses of cultural vindicated.
All these issues converge in a particular way at his project Herbarium for Artificial Plants, an ironical project trying to reconstruct the identity of nature and men, trough the “studies” of fake botanics, based most on “made in China” silk plants. He has led the field of Fake plants Expeditions in Venice, New Zealand, Sao Paulo, Girardot, Santa Marta, Los Angeles, … gathering taxons forthe herbarium.
