Lapidario comprises various bodies of work stemming from critical research across multiple disciplines, culminating in a collection of poetic and proposed creations. Regina de Miguel utilizes the visual languages of science—such as botanical, astronomical, cartographic, and geological—to encourage a reevaluation of the connection between humanity and nature. This reevaluation is rooted in the potential for a restorative perspective, highlighting the shared fragility of all forms of existence and the importance of generosity. The exhibition's title emphasizes the strength of the artist's intent, which is inherent in her proposal.
“The exhibition represents a realm of interconnected territories. It is an exploration that merges the earthly with the cosmic, aiming to stimulate consciousness and foster specific knowledge within a space that transcends definitive statements. In this space, humans, animals, microorganisms, stones, and geological layers intertwine within a complex interior. Science fiction serves both as a method of exploration and a political instrument, alongside forensic and prophetic approaches, seeking dialogue among a federation of living and non-living entities that engage with otherness and the unimaginable, creating a cohesive narrative.” – Regina de Miguel, April 2024
