| For more than a decade, works of art made from plant material have been at the center of Olaf Holzapfelâ s artistic practice. Since 2009, Holzapfel has been developing a group of works together with weavers from a Wichà family in Gran Chaco, Argentina. His works highlight the connection between humans as settlers and their surrounding landscape and emphasize the relationship between center and periphery, urban and rural. An example of this are the textile works and installations made from the cactus fibre Chaguar and presented in the publication Textile. These textile works were made in a collaborative process between the artist and the Wichà weavers Teresa, Mirta, Dionisia, Noelia, and Luisa Gutiérrez. In their beauty, the works combine contemporary aesthetics with the weaversâ knowledge of the colors and properties of the forest. The publication contains documentational material of Holtzapfelâ s work, texts by Olaf Holzapfel, Andrea ElÃas, and Inka Gressel as well as an interview with the Wichà weavers. |
