Luca Spano on the Ozhopé collective.

Walking along a shore and looking at objects carried onto the sand by the sea current. Seeing these objects slowly piling up, one on top of the other, constructing something day after day. Organic matter mixes with residues of artificially produced goods. Colors vanish. Distinctions between the natural and the man-made disappear. Geological time blends with the capitalist one. The pace of local waves interacts with the rhythm of global systems of consumption, forming new conglomerates or new “things” that respond to the collapsing of time and space. This process opens up interstitial dimensions through which to view the world from delocalized angles.

Approaching the work of the Ozhopé collective requires awareness of invisible structures that operate in the “here and now” as much as in the “before and after.”
