Ciclorama is an acquisition of CIFO. CIFO (Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation) is an institution dedicated to promoting Latin American contemporary art through programs, exhibitions, and a collection.

By generating a cartography that interweaves ancestral temporalities with contemporary conflicts, Ciclorama produces images where foundational maps, Andean cosmogonies, cities in crisis, and infographics converge. The work dialogues with research-based artistic methodologies such as Forensic Architecture, while constructing symbolic images that address both information and the making of a landscape stratified over time, also incorporating reworked audiovisual archives brought into relation with the cartographic field.

At its core, the work builds a territorial image through the compilation of images from different temporalities. It asks whether there is a territorial memory whose complexity exceeds historical memory and dissolves geopolitical borders—where past, present, and future overlap as a layered inscription.

In response to the notion of multi-system contemporary crises, these works develop an image-making methodology nourished by diverse sources—archives, documents, maps, data, videos, and other records—that juxtapose a distant past with a present in crisis. The artist’s motivation emerges from observing violent social conflicts across the Andean region from 2018 to 2024, investigated through a temporality that traverses the pre-Columbian, the colonial, the Cold War, and the contemporary.

The work takes the form of a volumetric circular installation, 11 meters in diameter, made of 12 hanging cartographies on translucent fabric that are manually intervened, set in relation to a wall video projection. The space establishes an obverse and reverse with distinct aesthetic solutions, and viewers enter the installation to see the projected video within it, opening up multiple vantage points for contemplation.
