The Pantanal, a South American wetland, is frequently the scene of forest fires, also as a result of agrarian capitalist activities in recent years. You could say that ESPECTRO RESTAURACIÓN "shows" one of those fires. It doesn't do that with ostensibly immediate images of burning trees. There is a spectrogram: the visible representation of the frequency range of a sound, the sound of the burning forest. In the frequency range a font is inscribed, a sentence from the Ecuadorian constitution granting fundamental rights to nature. Wherever the letters cover the sounds of the burning forest, bird chirps and other animal sounds home to an intact forest become hearable. The transmission and re-transmission between seeing and hearing, between sound and image reflects our relation with nature.
