Collection
Eco-dyed and decolored poplin
340 x 800 cm
Yo aplico el color (I Apply Color) a curtain tinted with organic dyes by Belén Rodríguez responds to the verses by an Aztec dyer, included in the Florentine Codex (1540–1585): “I make chilli red / I turn chilli red.” Rodríguez evokes the relevance of traditional dyeing techniques that have induced magical, poetic, and chromatic visions. Installed in Boeticus Salon, the bright and frisky piece of fabric contributes to the vibrant, enveloping, and warm atmosphere. It also makes us ponder on the diversity of ancestral artistic techniques that avoid the use of chemicals and other polluting materials and were deployed to awaken and expand consciousness.
