Patricia Domínguez, born and based in Chile, combines her research on plants, resource extraction, and healing practices to create sculptures, videos, and writings that imagine more sustainable and compassionate ways of living. In Cosmotechnics, Patricia presents two works side by side for the first time, developed during her dual residency between CERN in Switzerland and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) astronomy facilities in Chile. Tres Lunas Más Abajo (Three Moons Below) (2024) and Matrix Vegetal (2022) reflect Patricia’s ongoing exploration of the energy that connects all living things and objects on Earth.

At the end of your exhibition visit, Patricia invites you to join in creating a shrine with offerings of local medicinal plants, flowers, and cherished objects.

In this special event, we will honour the offering’s placed on Patricia Domínguez’s collective shrine in a symbolic closing ritual. With this gesture, we will carry our wishes, experiences, and learning collected throughout the exhibition into the greater rhythms of our environment.

The event begins at 13:00 with an exhibition tour of Cosmotechnics led by Curator Beatrice Zaidenberg. Following the tour, the Closing Ritual will begin at 14:00. We warmly invite everyone to join us for the exhibition tour; however, if you are unable to attend, please feel free to join us for the Closing Ritual.

The Closing Ritual will include an outdoor walk in Liverpool, which will start and conclude at FACT. We recommend dressing appropriately for the weather conditions, and a detailed route will be provided closer to the event date.
