Immanent unfolding of the Andes, fractal mountain range revealing the aesthetics of life. Limited collection roadmap: this series will evolve in ETH and XTZ chains simultaneously (all unique pieces). Quantity: 4 pieces for the ETH chain. First two pieces with five editions each at 0.05, Second half of the series are 1/1s. The Andean creative act is a ceremonial state. Its events are provoked in the emergence of Nature: a power that unfolds and crosses every possible category, in all directions. The fractality of the points of view, defies the divisions, makes the edges indiscernible; the objective and the subjective collapse in the manner of crystal. Multiplicities unite, distances cross, times bend. Andean art recovers fundamental concepts, originating from existence. Its symbols safeguard what does not perish, the universal. This geography of the virtual refers to the significant interstices between things, a use of technology as a charm of meaning, revealing the aesthetic trance of an intangible journey: folds of the soul resolved in nature, which is no longer outside, nor we within. We are indiscernible and transitory states, beyond any possible understanding. Cinematography, music & intervention: Gino Battiston.
