The Andes Mountains in Prats' work are a reference to his persistent recalling of territories of origin and the energy immersed in their extreme nature. On one hand, he uses the unprecedented exploit of the French aviator Adrienne Bolland who, in 1921, crossed this mountain range for the first time. Bolland challenged, in a subversive act, all predictions. On the other, Prats uses drawings of the peaks from the Atlas de la República de Chile 1875 by geologist A. Pissis. In this way, the work refers to a poetic dialogue that is generated in the artist's imagination. He reattributes significance to both explorations of the territory within the folds that obsessively captivate our gaze.
