Marcador was installed in the old Estación Garzón, Uruguay, as part of the CAMPO AIR artistic residency, following the appointment of curators Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro, Patricia Druck and Heidi Lender, coordinator of the CAMPO AIR project.             
                
                 Marcador [Marker] takes into its own the spatial text: ceiling, floor, and the walls of a construction. In this case, the body of the architectural complex of the Pueblo Gárzon train station that is deactivated. Marcador establishes boundaries paradoxically delimitating the incommensurable history. It also tries to build a dialogue with this space from suspended narratives. A laser-cut tape with special measures was made for Marcador, being different from tapes for sale. Its edge was a cut in a triangular shape – like the ones in books and gift wraps. The tape is 8 meters long and 70 centimeters wide and was affixed in the center of Estación Garzón’s ceiling. In the case of this tape made for Marcador with special looms for the satin texture, the work starts involving other types of procedures and drawings, such as operations, deformations, and extraordinary scales. 

                Between July and August 2019, some new studies and drawings were made for the installation of Marcador on the Estación Garzón, taking into account the glassed access of its frontpiece façade that has a resemblance to the art-déco style and the decorative ornaments of its internal space. The intention is that this in situ intervention and its spatial activation may raise questions about the suspended and in suspense narratives suggested by it.
