As for "Mario Ishikawa: Archaeological Site", the proposed selection stems from a set of wooden sculptures and soot drawings produced between the 1980s and 2010, when the artist turned his attention to the cyclical dimension of time in nature, working with organic matter and the interaction of elements such as fire, earth and air. His sculptures are produced mainly with tree branches from his backyard and his drawings are a kind of sumi-ê in which the vehicle is now air and no longer water. In these works, Ishikawa reworks in his urban present the memories of his childhood in a rural area – the handmade fabrication of utilities, the preparation of food, the reuse of materials and the use of kerosene lamps – establishing associations between biomorphism, eroticism and violence.
