Tierras raras <\/span><\/i>[Rare Earths] seems a beautiful way to describe our sinister world. A way of bestowing mystery, even mythology, on what could be seen as a catastrophe.

Beauty survives destruction with all its fragility intact. Like Anna Tsing’s mushrooms, the wild animals of Chernobyl or the free electricity that could light the whole of Mexico City. If we dig into the earth \u2013 with our fingernails, drilling machines or special trowels \u2013 we will find rubbish, the world\u2019s excrement, the scatological traces of history: household waste, mining waste, prehistoric tools and obsolete computers, body parts, the ruins of temples destroyed in wars, icons sacrificed by spiritual enemies. <\/span>Tierras raras<\/span><\/i> is an image, a glimpse of this condensation of time. The dance of the subsoil, of that which decomposes and feeds the world. The dance of this original violence.<\/span><\/p>\n
