Rolf Art is pleased to announce the opening of Rhizome, a group exhibition that explores the Amazon through a biocentric and biopolitical lens. Inspired by the concept of the rhizome developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (A thousand plateaus, 1980), the exhibition frames the rainforest as an insurgent territory: a living, decentralized network that defies its reduction to resource, commodity, or exotic backdrop.

In this light, the Amazon is presented as a collective body marked by territorial resistance, ancestral knowledge, and extractive violence. Like a rhizome, its life forms grow underground, weaving together the visible and the invisible, while disrupting colonial systems of control, appropriation, and order. The works in this exhibition do not depict a landscape—they inhabit it, challenge it, and claim it as a political subject.

Rhizome brings together four seminal figures in Latin American contemporary visual art: José Alejandro Restrepo (1959, Colombia), a pioneer of video art in Colombia and across the region; Mapa Teatro (established in 1983, Colombia), a transdisciplinary laboratory of social creation rooted in the performing arts; Clemencia Echeverri (1950, Colombia), a master of the moving image; and Roberto Huarcaya (1959, Peru), a key voice in contemporary Peruvian photography.
