Step into the philosophical depths of «Relave: material particulado,» published in 2021, where poetic verses explore the profound concept of resource exploitation in the Atacama region. These poems traverse the intricate landscapes of mining, shedding light on the philosophical implications. Tailings, the remnants left behind from mineral refinement—specifically copper mining in Chile—are the focal point. Divided into four expansive poems—Tone Prospection, Impact Study, Ludus Luditas, and Open-Cut Still Life—alongside a concluding piece titled ‘Eschatology 0,’ this collection navigates the nuanced layers of human impact and ecological consequence. Dive into this thought-provoking work that unveils the complex interplay between humanity and its exploited resources.
