Abstract

Geography and contemporary art have a fertile ground for dialogue due to their convergences in questions concerning the ecological crisis. Artist’s creative expressions open up a rich field of meanings to be interpreted by the cultural approaches in Geography. This essay, thus, intends to demonstrate how three installations, Palm Pavilion (by Rirkrit Tiravanija), Ahora jugemos a desaparecer (by Carlos Garaicoia) and Vivan los campos libres (by Antonio Ballester Moreno), express experiential geopoetics on Platationocene’s ecological fractures. To do so, we employed phenomenological-existentialist immersions that unravel relational contingencies of being-in-the-world amidst networks of place precarity, vulnerability and ruin implicit in the installations.

Keywords: Plantationocene. Geopoetics. Place-work.
