Micro, Aureo, Adela is the project MACRO commissioned from Spanish artist Jorge Peris (born in Alzira, Valencia, 1969). Specially realized for this space, the installation is the fruit of Peris recent work. Recreating the environment of a salt mine, Peris turns one of the Museum’s galleries into an extreme ecosystem. Exploring the relationship between salt and water, he brings his audience on a journey into the infinite past.
Jorge Peris consulted with physicists and marine biologists, in order to study the dynamics of the origins of life. The artificial ecosystem which resulted from this research is based on the memory of salt and accompanies the visitor on their journey into the past, according to the rhythms of the golden mean. The formation of the saline stalactites is governed by the Coriolis effect and creates a corridor of time-space continuum, a window onto our ancestral past. The Artemia Salinae are forms of primordial life that have maintained their original characteristics through the millennia, harking back to the origins of life on earth.
