Mysteries

Within the framework of BIENALSUR, Boltanksi made an exploratory trip to Patagonia, where he found the site that could capture the winds and the infinite dimension of the horizon stretching among the sky, the rocks and the sea. Thus emerged the work: three huge iron trumpets were installed on that windswept shore of Chubut to emit their sounds unceasingly. Boltanksi created a myth, that of the horns blown by the wind attempting to establish a dialogue with the whales about existential questions. He leaves a mark on the landscape and installs a new sonority. He builds a legend bound to challenge time and render continuity to his work.
