Adrián Villar Rojas reflects on the conceptual and material concerns that underpin First Gods, Lost Animals at Aspen Art Museum, situating it within the shifting relationship between figure and landscape that informs AIR 2026. His work approaches space as something staged and historically charged by inherited ways of seeing, but also continually rewritten through material intervention and cultural projection. Moving across vast geological time and non-anthropocentric narratives, the talk delves into how humans construct frameworks to render complexity navigable, and what is at stake when those systems begin to shift and unravel.
