Scarlett Rovelaz: Fluidity-Thyssen

In Fluidity the Honduran artist Scarlett Rovelaz reflects on the present-day disconnection with the environment and on the drying up of Spain’s rivers. Starting from the painting Orchid and Humming Bird near a Waterfall by Martin Johnson Heade in the Carmen Thyssen Collection, the artist traces the course of a metaphorical river that reminds us of the need to rethink human beings’ relationship with nature.

This performance is also a homage to the Honduran environmental activist Berta Cáceres and to all those women who have been murdered for defending the land.
