Marble sculptures that show the evolution of rivers, photos illustrating the movement of water, light boxes that draw in air basins in the land ... They are the proposals of the Austrian artist Eva Lootz (Vienna, 1940) for warn of water shortages and poor utilization of water resources of the planet.
The exhibition 'Travels of water, "House Burning with Madrid, reflects the interest of the artist by nature and by human intervention in the landscape. The exhibition contains many of the works of 'Hydrology', a project in which Eva Lootz works since 2005 and in which the protagonists are the rivers of the Iberian Peninsula. The title, "Travels of water 'refers to the underground tunnels supplying water to Madrid before the construction of the Canal de Isabel II.
Several marble sculptures show the evolution of Spanish rivers through digital technology. With digital sculptures the artist, winner of the National Plastic Arts Prize in 1994, aims to merge art, science and technology.
To make the sculptures Lootz processed through a computer program parameters such as floods, changes in the course of a river or the world traffic density over time and transferred the results into marble.
