On the surface of the Atacama Desert, the driest, most lifeless place on earth, the testing site for exoplanet life detection and habitability, a human skeleton, unburied, undated, has been found by the artist in the exact position of its death, the bones and flesh merging over time with the ground. The title is the name of this location.
