The In-between installation is a piece composed of several interconnected modules that are distributed throughout the space. In this way, through a metalanguage that confronts the printed image with its creation process, the installation seeks to generate a discourse around the different multiple graphic techniques. In this way, through images enlarged with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) technology, the inner world of paper and vegetable-based fatty inks is presented.

The quality and quality of the expanded paper and its original material remnants (fibers and links) refer to the natural world, through textures and organic forms. Therefore, it is proposed that, observing and creating new relational ecosystems allow us to generate links between the natural and the artificial, thus breaking the barriers and dualities promoted by the contemporary anthropocentric system.
The installation is completed with an electrical installation that connects with cables, as in a radical vegetal system, all the modules with each other and with the space they occupy. In this way, the roots, distributed throughout the room, together with the backlit biomorphic landscapes, transport us to a future ecosystem, in which graphics, paper, plants and reality dialogue in the exhibition space.
Various printed papers (with intaglio and woodcut) were prepared and micro-observed in order to understand how the ink-paper binomial interacts to form a complex image. In the proposed pieces, which generate a new ecosystem and medium for the micro, we can observe in a backlit way, fragments of fibers and ink particles that intertwine in a science fiction landscape (SF by Donna Haraway).
Thus, the work, which starts both from the literality of reality and the decontextualization of the image, aims to demonstrate the relationships and points of contact between artistic and scientific languages and media. In this way, through the integration of both disciplines, a poetic approach is proposed to other realities hidden to the naked eye, such as the organicity of paper and its vegetable origin.
