Displacement, memory, uncertainty, and repetition are constants in Ana Tiscornia's artistic practice. The use of architectural tools addresses the devastated space with the semantics of its own construction, mapping a sort of cartography of desolation and oblivion. Her works draw upon a paradoxical bond between architecture -language of construction par excellence- and the language of destruction and dislocation.
