Last Sunday, as part of Circuito Latina, Yan García revealed his work in progress, Bark and Cosmologies, a meticulous record of life in the bark of native trees from Argentina. With photographs and drawings made from frottage, Yan captures the living history of these trees: the marked wood, the traces of insects, the rooted moss. These details are a non-verbal narrative, a conversation that the territory unfolds in silence.

“Everything coexists, intertwines… life pulses,” Yan tells us, and invites us to question whether a tree can draw. His work suggests that it can. In every bark lies the story of an environment that adapts and survives. Inspired by the concept of “territory as an effect of art” from Vinciane Despret, Yan connects natural atmospheres and inner rhythms, intertwining time and human states with the landscape.
