Abstract

The past is a story, a representation, made from the present. In that sense, we can think of a map as a device to represent the past, but also to return to it taking a different route and read it from another perspective. Based on that definition, and taking Iván Gómez’s exhibition «Denboraren tolesak» (2022) as a starting point, this article aims to address the importance of contemporary artistic practices in the reinterpretation of history and the reconfiguration of the present. In fact, this exhibition is a curatorial exercise that ends up functioning as a map, in which a cartography of different bodies is made based upon the existence of the Pheasant Island. Thus, this text talks about an attempt to tell history differently, a journey proposed withthe intention of recovering the materials, whispers and traces hin the wrinkles of time.
