Lucerna (Adolfo Bimer & Gabriel Alonso, 2026) draws on ancient lamps fuelled by vegetable oils to unfold a fiction around alternative forms of illumination, in which plant matter ceases to function as fuel and instead becomes a membrane, a support, and an agent of light. Situated somewhere between artefact and speculative technology, the work imagines a future, or alternative past, in which illumination might develop in dialogue with the metabolic processes of plants. A membrane embedded with different botanical species, seeds, and flowers acts as a sensitive surface and a light-emitting device, giving rise to an object situated between fantasy and science.
The final image depicts the pwca, a mysterious figure carrying a light, belonging to a landscape alive with mischief, uncertainty, and forces that do not necessarily share human intentions. Darkness is not an empty space waiting to be illuminated; it is a world inhabited by other agencies.
