Tindaya Mountain In Fuerteventura, The Interminable Vision Of Eduardo Chillida-00-7130
Tindaya Elevation, situated in the municipality of La Oliva in Fuerteventura, has ever been surrounded with a halo of magic and mysticism. It is a religion place of ancient Majorero natives where over 200 feet-shaped stone carvings were unconcealed. It was avowed Property of Cultural Interest, Geological Interest Site and Natural Monument; Tindaya also represents a crucial mining site based on the extraction of a extrusive pitch called Traquita.
When it was premiere discussed of carving into the mountain to build the Monument for Tolerance, a category of protection plan was created. The initial intention was to step away from excavation mining and develop the ethnical tourism and ecological aspects of Tindaya through a grandiose sculpture, the largest creation of a first class international sculptorer like Eduardo Chillida.
Chillida created this monument as a space inspired from a verse from Jorge Guillén «depth is in the air», and wanted to look for the essence of the spirit inside the mount. His obsession, only comparable to that of Peine del Viento (another sculpture of his), was to create a cube of ...
... 50m x 50m x 50m graven into the mountain with two skylights that would symbolise the Sun and the Moon. A place that as the creator himself described «would not be visible from the exterior, butonce inside and lit by the ablaze light of the sun, would evoke the very essence of humanity».
Nonetheless, since the Canarian creator José Miguel Fernández told the artist from San Sebastian about the possibility to conceptualize his creation on the island of Fuerteventura, on the way, they were featured with polemics of all kinds such as ecology, politics and even justice. Today, 15 years down the line, the utopia relic in the mind.
Nor Eduardo Chillida, or José Miguel Fernández Aceytuno, or José Antonio Fernández Ordóñez engineer and friend of the Basque sculptor ever managed to see the assign realized. All three died between 2000 and 2005. Now, four years later, it looks like there is bright at the end of the tunnel. Lorenzo Fernández Ordóñez, brain of the Guadiana Foundation, has recovered the main ideas from his father and from Chillida himself to finally make the Tindaya ascribe a reality.
