Las tres partes de la filosofía (Three Parts of Philosophy)
1987
Wood, iron, quartz salts
Due to readings on Alchemy, I came up with this object which sums some of the symbols of the tradition. I still find interesting Alchemy, to the extent that its processes have some similarities with those of art: the manipulation of physical materials in order to obtain changes in the soul. Also due to its character oppositional to science. The 'philosophy' in the title is the Alchemist’s knowledge. “'he Three Parts of Philosophy' is a classical alchemy book, from which I extracted the texts printed around the buckets. The work was shown in Maastricht, at Gallery Wanda Reiff (the last image).
