The exhibition presents photographs from her debut film Errante: La conquista del hogar (2019–2020)—her first film project—in dialogue with a carefully curated selection of works from the acclaimed series Antártida (2012). The exhibition proposes a unique approach: to follow Lestido's gaze through two extreme geographies—Antarctica (2012) and The Conquest of Home (2019–2020)—and to read them as complementary chapters of the same inquiry. In his journeys through Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, Lestido not only records climatic conditions but also pursues a persistent question: to understand what nature can say about immensity, life, and death through the austerity of the landscape, its purity and desolation. This question acts as a hinge: in Antarctica, the vastness and silence confront humankind with the absolute; in The Conquest of Home, that same austerity is fragmented into stations and diaries, becoming an intimate mirror where the landscape becomes an archive of transformation.
