Archivum Naturae is a group exhibition featuring works by Ana Palacio and Andrea Nosetti. Through photography, installation, and sculptural processes, the exhibition reflects on the transformation of living organisms into archives, images, fragments, and reproducible structures.

In Archivum Naturae, nature no longer appears as untouched landscape or distant contemplation, but as a territory shaped by displacement, technological mediation, extraction, and survival. Birds from the southern regions of Latin America and digitally reproduced insects become traces of ecosystems under pressure — suspended between preservation and disappearance.

The exhibition unfolds through two distinct yet interconnected artistic approaches. In her series YAJNA, Ana Palacio works with images of birds whose habitats have been altered by human intervention. The works adopt the visual language of documents and scientific records while simultaneously questioning the violence embedded in acts of observation, classification, and possession. Drawing from Indigenous concepts connected to coexistence and harmony with the natural world, the series reflects on ecological imbalance and fragile relationships between living beings and their environments.

Andrea Nosetti’s installation begins from a digital file purchased online and used as the basis for a series of 3D prints. Through fragmentation, repetition, and changes in scale, the body of an insect gradually loses its biological integrity and becomes an abstract sculptural structure. Oscillating between fossil, artifact, and digital replica, the works explore how contemporary technologies transform organic life into endlessly reproducible matter.

Rather than offering a nostalgic image of nature, Archivum Naturae proposes a reflection on what remains when living systems are displaced into archives, databases, representations, and artificial habitats.
