Inframundi gathers a catalogue of imaginary artefacts rooted in a deeply personal story: a childhood spent in the uncanny presence of an ancient pre-Columbian mummy. From this formative memory, Elisa Valenzuela invents the objects one might carry into the afterlife. Developed over several years of research, the project draws on catalogues of pre-Columbian, Oceanic, and ancient art. Valenzuela adopts their visual and descriptive codes, subtly shifting them toward fiction to construct a parallel archaeology - one in which imagination takes the place of scientific method.
