Miroslaw Balka - April

Signed and numbered edition of 20 (+10 a.p)

… The photo of the bone was taken at the exhibition Dinosaurios de la Patagonia.
It is a bone of Patagotitan Mayorum. Dinosaurio who lived 101 million years ago.
A lot of years before Homo habilis 2,5 million years ago started its presence in Africa.
The bone of the animal, which never saw a man, is confronted with the poetry of Thomas Stearns Eliot.
It is the first line of Wasted Land. The poetry written in 1922 related to the I World War and death.
April starts with Fools’ Day. It is a month of Pesach, Easter and newborn life.
The idea is to create the historical, time space for thought Prehistory meets History… (MB)
