EXTREMISMOS. THE LIMITS OF THE CHILEAN LANDSCAPE
It represents the earthquakes Chile. Jorge Tacla is interested in the socio-economic component implicit in these works: the one with the least magnitude (Haiti, 7.0) has been the one that has caused the most destruction, due to the structural precariousness of the country. These 3 works have been shown together at the National Gallery in Dublin, during the Dublin Biennale. 8.8 describes Chile after the earthquake and its subsequent tsunami in 2010. This earthquake has affected Tacla directly, since his study in Santiago has been completely destroyed. 8.9 refers to the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. It is part of a collection.
