Gabriel Chaile works between the fields of anthropology, religion and art. His work is rooted in the Indigenous cultures of Northeast Argentina, aiming to reconstruct and continue the lineage of his culture by developing upon a theory that Chaile calls ‘the genealogy of form’. He refers to himself as a ‘communicator of images’, which he finds through contextual observations, acting as a visual anthropologist in the way Indigenous forms and materials have survived time and denote resistance, such as the clay oven or the common pot. Working frequently with natural elements such as adobe, mud and metal, Chaile weaves stories that readdress and revitalise the tales of his ancestors and his community, integrating the ritualistic and communal significance of food and public spaces into his practice.
