Amadeo

starting at €90.00

The remains of the steamship Amadeo lie on the shore of the San Gregorio ranch. Located in Chilean Patagonia, the ranch is a vast operation that has produced sheep’s wool, tallow, meat, and leather. The process was described in 1920 roughly as follows: Once the sheep have been sheared, the wool goes into a press, which forms it into bales. The bales fall into train cars, which a locomotive pulls to the end of the platform, where a ship’s crane lowers them into the hold. Amadeo’s role in transporting the products to market came to an end on the shores of the Strait of Magellan in 1932.

CONCRETE DECAY – the antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to it, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
