It is inspired by the phenomenon of string theory and The Rope of Life, a Buddhist tale. The work consists of a tight rope of more than 11 meters long, whose core has been braided in toilet paper and pulp from Heisenberg's The Uncertainty Principle. It has been covered with personal documents, historical documents and clippings of philosophical texts (Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Marx, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Foucault). It is set, internally, with the vibrations resulting from distorted sounds and fragments of historical speeches edited on the leitmotiv of The Ride of the Balkirias, taken from The Fall of the Gods, monumental Wagnerian opera that closes the tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung, a heroic and mythological story with which the German intellectual questions the decadence of the iron political model established in Europe as a consequence of the 1st Industrial Revolution (16th-17th century). XVI-XVII).

- [Ernesto Benítez: regurgitator of discomfort](https://www.ernestobenitez.com/en/contemporary-art/publishings-press/magazine/ernesto-benitez-regurgitator-of-discomfort-by-yenny-hernandez/): By Yenny Hernández Valdés The work of artist Ernesto Benitez (Havana, 1971) requires a pause, a meditative moment in the midst of the vortex of the contemporary world to approach it. It is worth saying that Benitez has never been too academic or institutional. He is an artist who shuns the pamphletary and the honeyed and insipid speeches. Certainly, his work has tried to evade, given the uncomfortable nature that characterizes him, the classificatory interstices of "great art"...

- [The abode of Leviathan](https://www.ernestobenitez.com/en/contemporary-art/artworks/sculpture-installation-art/leviathan/the-abode-of-leviathan/): " The abode of Leviathan" reflects on power without authority and on the authoritarianisms that emanate from absolute power, power without limits, greed and excessive ego. It reflects on the quasi-divine connotation and the dogmatically religious character of all "coexistence" based on the absolutist theism of totalitarianisms.

The elusive question for ontology catalyzes here a nature in terms of inquiry, once it does not pursue an attitude as vindication...

It seems to me a perfectly natural path in a context for which moving at the wrong time has been, more than a matter of regret, a safe bet to take things with a certain reflective distance... However, what about the reflective dissent from Cuban art?...

His artistic proposals are the tip of the iceberg of a whole research process in which philosophical, socio-historical and anthropological knowledge are interconnected. Thus, approaching his work is an intellectual exercise in which any interpretative naivety is discarded. There is nothing puerile and fortuitous in his creative work, but rather a skein of signifiers that the receiver must...

In the present circumstances, the collapse of existence drawn in terms of coherence, stability, confidence in the future, leads to the image of the broken and fragmented human being, dislocated with himself and his environment, doubtful of his own subjectivity, which he fears or in which he is consumed without a pertinent way out.

The work itself is a tightrope of more than 11 meters long, whose core has been braided in toilet paper and pulp from Heisenberg's The Uncertainty Principle, covered with personal documents, historical documents and philosophical clippings (from Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Marx, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Foucault). It is set, internally, with vibrations, distorted sounds and fragments of historical speeches edited on the leitmotiv of The Ride of the Balkirias, taken from The Fall of the Gods, monumental Wagnerian opera that closes the tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung, a heroic and mythological story with which the German intellectual questions the decadence of the iron political model established in Europe as a consequence of the 1st Industrial Revolution (16th-17th century).

Authority constituted then and constitutes today a kind of recognition that does not allow self-imposition, but must be granted or bestowed. But when and under what circumstances does the exercise of authority degenerate into authoritarianism, what leads us, once in power, to confuse discipline and obedience to rules with blind meekness, how do we go beyond consensus to land in imposition, exclusion, scorn, denigration of the different and dissenting, or the repudiation and exclusion of the dissident, on what arguments is violence justified by those who only seek to cling to power? These and other questions give rise to Leviathan, a curatorial project based on a single ephemeral installation piece.

After a period of retreat that Ernesto Benítez refers to as Seven Days of Silence, Ab æternō (Open Studio) takes up again a set of emblematic works of the author together with a selection of new proposals that warn the paths of his current artistic praxis.
- [Ernesto Benítez (CV) Contemporary Cuban Artist](https://www.ernestobenitez.com/en/curriculum/): Ernesto Benitez began his art studies at the age of 12, at the Vocational School of Art in El Cerro, Havana. He has studied at the Instituto Superior de Arte (known as the Universidad de La Artes), the San Alejandro Fine Art Academy and has completed several postgraduate courses in Philosophy, Linguistic Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Syncretic Religions, Caribbean Cultures, thus gaining access to various tools and a theoretical conceptual foundation that has allowed him to expand the boundaries of art.

There, he learned about the manifestation of artistic engraving and carried out his first experiments with serialized graphics as part of his art studies. Since then his preference for these techniques was such that a few years later, already at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts, he decides to specialize in this discipline until he finally graduates as an engraver-drawer (Professor of Engraving and Drawing). The pieces in this particular series were made in woodcut or Xylography (wood engraving), but Ernesto also studied and experimented with other techniques typical of serialized graphic art, for example:

His exhibitions (often approached as environmental installations or works conceived for specific spaces -specific-site installations-) explore cultural wounds and the processes of fragmented identity, the self and the deep abyss that separates us from the other in consumer society and culture, among others...

It is not strange, then, that he often turns to sculpture and artistic installation as expressive resources of great weight in his most experimental proposals...

For this reason he has regularly explored these and other techniques either independently or by integrating serialized graphic reproduction elements in his unique works (on paper, in paintings or in his installative works). Benítez constantly assumes the new modes of art production in his aesthetics: video, net-art, digital photography, digital animation, 3D modeling, etc. and indistinctly mixes them – without the slightest prejudice – with the more traditional techniques, among which are engraving and serial graphic work.

- [Biography](https://www.ernestobenitez.com/en/biography/): Ernesto Benitez, 1971, was born in the neighborhood of El Canal, a populous marginal city in the municipality of Cerro, in Havana City, Cuba. The town that hosted him during his childhood and adolescence is defined by the local authorities as a highly dangerous area, due to its proverbial violence and social deterioration. There, at the age of 12, he began his artistic studies at the Paulita Concepción Vocational Art School. This is the period of economic splendor of Cuba due to the subsidies received from the extinct Soviet Union, but Ernesto is constantly surrounded by all kinds of signs and vestiges of marginality, deterioration or moral and social decadence.
