Mazenett Quiroga have been working collaboratively in Bogotá, Colombia for the past nine years. In their projects, they explore the interrelationship between organisms and the misnamed “resources'' of our environment and how these relationships are appropriated and distributed by means of culture. They reflect on temporality, origin, and symbolism of  fundamental elements of the world economy, working with materials of fossil origin, such as tar, pitch, coal and a diversity of minerals. Omnipresent in our daily lives, minerals connect humans with remote geological times. The artists’ practice is informed by a close dialogue between mythology from Amazonian peoples and western science such as geology, astronomy, and economy, trying to reconnect ordinary and everyday elements with ancient knowledge and mythical time.
