Littoral (Lunar Meteorite) III . 2025

A captivating exploration of geological themes through large-scale bronze sculptures inspired by lunar meteorites.

Cristina Iglesias presents her latest exhibition, Littoral (Lunar Meteorite) III, at Hauser & Wirth, showcasing three monumental bronze sculptures that delve into the intricate relationship between geology and memory. The term ‘littoral’ signifies the dynamic interface where land meets water, a fitting backdrop for Iglesias’ artistic inquiry into the geological narrative of our planet.

These striking sculptures, part of the Littoral (Lunar Meteorite) series, embody a unique aesthetic that evokes the essence of lunar meteorites—rocks that have journeyed from the Moon to Earth. Each piece exhibits a rock-like luster and a porous texture, creating an otherworldly presence that speaks to the collision of cosmic and terrestrial realms. Through this work, Iglesias invites viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the memories etched into the very fabric of our environment.
