That Mountain is Coming plays on the tradition of still-life, with a variation around time, fragility and destruction. What the artist immortalises are the residues of the creative process, often found in her studio. This debris congeals and rises up into a rugged landscape. Patricia Perez Eustaquio translates into forms the vertiginous amount of residue that accumulates and surrounds her. Her tormented patterns constitute an elegy for wilting or lifeless everyday things. They “reconstitute a memory based on traces.” Now almost monumental, this work erects a homage to waste, while presaging a worrying future: “this mountain which is coming is, inevitably, the one we are all helping to create.”

Patricia Perez Eustaquio’s in situ artwork is presented within the context of “Emerging talents from emerging countries” - an innovative programme to promote the vitality and creativity of Southeast Asia art scenes - set up in partnership with the Total Corporate Foundation.
