As part of the 18th annual ¡Viva! film and arts festival at the Cornerhouse, Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas presents a selection of work called Landscapes.
"Using second-hand sources, industrial materials and early optical equipment, Cuevas takes us back to a time when early scientific research was linked to [our] desire to understand the world. At the same time, she assesses the motives of early scientific enquiry and questions the instinct to domesticate wild environments."
