Colombian artist Delcy Morelos discusses how earth, darkness and the qualities of a mother’s womb informed her installation for the Barbican Centre in London in this exclusive video interview produced by Dezeen.
The 24-metre-wide installation, named Origo, was built by hand using more than 30 tonnes of soil and clay. It takes the form of an organic oval containing a series of hollow passageways that visitors can enter.
Small openings allow light into the inner space at intervals, but the interior remains largely in darkness.
Origo is at the Barbican Centre until 31 July 2026
