Within the framework of the 24th Paiz Art Biennial — “The World Tree,” Voluspa Jarpa presents Ciclorama, a work developed as part of a long-term research process unfolded through exhibitions in Germany, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Spain. This research focuses on the study, analysis, and symbolic construction of images around the social uprisings across the Andean region between 2018 and 2024, and proposes a methodology that draws from diverse sources—archives, documents, and images—juxtaposing a distant precolonial past with a present in crisis in order to build a multidimensional viewpoint on contemporary conflicts.

At its core, Ciclorama seeks to construct a spatio-temporal territorial image in which a geography is interpreted through the compilation of images belonging to different temporalities. The work asks whether there is a territorial memory whose complexity exceeds historical memory and blurs geopolitical borders—where past, present, and future overlap as a layered surface of traces. By generating a cartography that interweaves ancestral time with contemporary conflict, the work produces images in which foundational maps, Andean cosmogonies, contemporary cities under strain, and infographics converge.

In this version, the piece materializes as a set of wooden folding screens holding translucent textiles that are printed and manually intervened with paint and textile processes. The device proposes a contemplative experience through movement: viewers walk around and through the panels, encountering shifts between front and reverse, and sensing how layers of information and image reorganize with each step. The work insists on approaching complex problems not by isolating them, but by observing their interconnections and reverberations.
