Bestiary of timeless space

Georgina Quintana invites us into an extremely personal natural universe. She provides a privileged insight through a microscope, using randomly selected lenses to achieve an effective combination of the life of marine organisms, plants, insects, reptiles, birds and mammals. It serves as a reminder of her existence.
The viewer becomes merely another creature, surrounded by persons who, far from threatening, are a source of contemplation, harmony, an environment in which the only support is the substantial, poetry.
With a similar intention to travelers and naturalists of drawing up inventories and recording existing plants and animals, Quintana creates her own bestiary in a timeless space, an imaginary that we know yet forget.
