The exhibition Territories: Latin American Contemporary Art in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection showcases a selection of works by more than 50 contemporary Latin American artists, a polyphonic ensemble that sings to the socio-cultural plurality of Latin America thanks to art's capacity, as a generator of images, to capture and interpret historical dynamics, memory, and politics, while also pointing out that which, belonging to the human soul, is immutable, universal, beyond space and time.
'' The Erratic Marbles, by Peruvian artist Elena Damiani (Lima, 1979), uses geological, archaeological, and cartographic documentation to reinterpret the analysis of her object of study. The series of 36 collages shows natural stages and their generative processes as incomplete and ambiguous spaces where multiple times and topographies merge. These images become metaphors for movements, permanences, and/or transformations in realms beyond the geographic. ''
