Tracción de gabinete

---

In her practice, Linda Pongutá investigates the intersections of nature, technology, and politics through materials such as natural dyes, petroleum derivatives, and industrial metals. Her installations and sculptures engage with processes of mourning, resistance, and transformation.

Tracción de gabinete (Cabinet Traction), Pongutá’s first solo exhibition at Casas Riegner, brings together charred elements and dyed, weathered flowers in a composition shaped by dragging and displacement. Thick, fibrous, vine-like structures pass through metal pipes without winding around them. They hang, obstruct the conduits, and exert pressure on an infrastructure that appears to buckle under its own weight. Suspended from the ceiling, these structures evoke an exhausted system, exposing traces of wear along their interiors. Nearby, floripondio flowers coated in natural pigments fall and scatter across the space, suggesting a condition of industrial decay and breath.
