see you next tuesday is proud to present Argentinian artist and researcher Florencia Levy’s first solo show with the gallery, entitled Third Atomic Spectral.

Levy`s interdisciplinary practice combines long-term research, fieldwork, and experimental methodologies. Working across installation, film, photography, and sound, she explores the intersections of extractive processes, technological production, and their social and environmental implications.For over a decade, Levy has investigated the entanglements between extractive practices and the production of contemporary technologies. Her long-term research traces the material trajectories that connect geological formations, industrial processes, and global infrastructures, revealing how the substances that sustain technological systems are sourced, transformed, and circulated across planetary scales.

Third Atomic Spectral brings together this body of research as a material cartography of lithium and its extended networks. Moving from cosmological origins to present-day geopolitical circuits, the project follows the life of matter through regimes of visibility, mediation, and control. Lithium, formed in the first moments after the Big Bang as the third element to emerge, becomes both subject and structuring principle: a material that condenses deep time, technological dependency, and extractive urgency.

Levy’s methodology combines fieldwork, interviews, sound recordings, and multi-scalar forms of translation developed across sites such as the lithium salt flats of the Argentine Puna, rare earth extraction zones in China, deep-sea mining frontiers, and fracking territories in Patagonia. These locations are approached as contested territories shaped by infrastructures of power, labor, and environmental transformation.

The installation foregrounds the systems through which matter becomes infrastructure—and through which infrastructure organizes what can be sensed, known, and governed. By tracing these material chains, Third Atomic Spectral exposes the uneven distribution of the environmental and social costs embedded in technological production, asking what remains inscribed on territories and bodies through systems of extraction and power.

Florencia Levy at Central Saint Martins College of Arts (London) and the Universidad Nacional de las Artes (Buenos Aires). She has received numerous international awards, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and the Premio Konex Arte y Tecnología, and has exhibited internationally across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. In 2024, she represented Argentina at the 15th Gwangju Biennale. Levy lives and works in Buenos Aires.
