EKUMEN SOUVENIRS
To reflect on the trajectory of our species, our cultural, scientific, and technological environment, and its development throughout history, Ekumen Souvenirs comes to life. The proposal begins with a futuristic situation or scenario in which certain objects are discovered outside their context and time. In a manner reminiscent of a science fiction novel, we engage in speculation about their origin.
Inspired by the work of the writer Úrsula K. Leguin, specifically, the novels that allude to the Ekumen.

«This planet was not made to host a civilization. If we stop helping each other, if we don’t give up our personal desires for the common good, nothing, nothing in this barren world can save us.»
The Dispossesed, Ursula K.Leguin
«The day and the night, the dawn and the dusk, were majestic and slow on that planet, which took thirty hours to complete its rotation. The passing of the seasons was also tranquil; this was the spring equinox, followed by four hundred days of spring and summer.»
The Dispossesed, Ursula K.Leguin
«If one understands numbers, one can come to understand everything: balance, pattern, the solid foundations of the world. Shevek had triumphed; there were no more abysses, no more walls, no more exile. He had seen the foundations of the universe, and they were solid.»
The Dispossesed, Ursula K.Leguin
