Liquid solid surface is the title of an installation that emerged because of the encounter and gathering of the remainings of a burnt house in the rural area of Los Riscos, in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. It specifically centers around objects and pieces of glass, metal, and plastic, that because of combustion have traveled from a solid state to a liquid one, and then, in reverse direction, have solidified due to cooling.

The installation is made up of three photographs and more than a thousand partially or totally “melted” elements, typologically categorized in display cabinets, end caps and logistic boxes; devices that are usually utilized for the exhibition and selling of standardized merchandise. In turn, the used material -because of its quantitative and qualitative characteristics- evokes archaeological pieces, which means, tangible specimens that allow us to obtain information about a determined human activity, in this case, the pursuit of the inhabitants of the burnt house: workers of a smallholding.
