Vicente Ovalle is recreating an Art Installation as reflexion of some recent events that are happening in Colombia - the discovery of The Galleon San Jose in the Atlantic ocean, close to Cartagena, and the position of the Spanish government in order to claim the ownership of its treasure.
These events resonate deeply into Vicente’s heart. He’s aiming to spark new profound conversations by creating silent interactions. With the final question being - WOULD YOU STEAL THE SAME THING TWICE ?
