its LED form evoking the organic delicacy of sea foam and the structural ingenuity of the pre-Incan Uros people’s floating reed islands, bringing one of Peru’s most enduring Indigenous traditions into

explorations of cultural memory and identity.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>Future Pass was a collaborative production of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the Today Art Museum in Beijing, and the UNEEC Culture and Education Foundation in Taipei, realized with support from the Fondazione Claudio Buziol and curated by Victoria Lu, making it one of the most ambitious cross-institutional contemporary art projects in Asia that year.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>The work draws on two foundational experiences from Amorós’s childhood in Lima: the bubbles and foam of the Pacific coast, and her encounter with the Uros people of Lake Titicaca, whose forty-two hand-constructed floating islands represent one of the most extraordinary examples of Indigenous engineering and ecological adaptation in the world.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>The sculpture appears to emerge naturally from the ground as if one with the earth, a quality Amorós achieves by rooting the work’s formal logic in the living, self-renewing structure of the reed island itself rather than imposing an external architectural form upon the space.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n

These islands are hand-constructed by the pre-Incan Uros people, who have long sustained their way of life on the lake’s surface.

They are a lasting example of Indigenous engineering and ecological adaptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Amorós brings these two influences together in Uros Island, a sculptural work that evokes both the organic delicacy of sea foam and the structural ingenuity of the reed islands.
