The Earth is Spherical

The series “The Earth is Spherical” is made up of three works that were part of the installation Covidianis Plana Terrae, with two three-dimensional works representing, on the front and back, two faces of the planet, as if it were flat, and opposed to a third work composited by a sphere painted with the continents in their real position.

The issue of the planet's sphericity or its supposed flatness generated these three works that were incorporated into the installation to represent the strong resurgence in world culture of the ancient theory of the flat Earth. My intention was to question these outdated cultural values, because in my view, this type of theoretical thinking based on medieval and archaic concepts brings with it several other retrograde concepts referring to science, religion, health, etc. and reinforced a strong scientific denialism during the period of the covid-19 pandemic.
