Empresas Copec presented “FUTURO”, a work by Chilean visual artist Paula Anguita, created especially for the Company and exhibited at its stand during the business summit held at Metropolitan Santiago. The installation offers an interactive experience that invites visitors to reflect on the decisions made today and their impact on future generations.

At first glance, the work displays the message “Piensa Distinto” (Think Differently), but when photographed with a flash, it reveals the image of a newborn baby that calls to think about the future. The piece, brought especially from Berlin, where the artist lives, uses a technique called Double Vision, developed by Anguita through her research into the optical properties of different surfaces and how they react to light.

“Just like the image of the baby, which in my work remains hidden until the camera intervenes, the ‘future’ is also something we cannot yet see; it is present as a possibility, but remains hidden until time reveals it,” explained Paula Anguita. The artist chose the image as a universal symbol of future generations and of the possibilities yet to be discovered.

“Every decision we make today, as companies and as a country, is already shaping the world in which the children being born now will grow up. FUTURO invites us to look at that image before time reveals it, and to take responsibility for it. That is why, in a year when ENADE brings us together to talk about investment, we believe it is important to think about who will ultimately be the recipients of the actions we are driving today,” said Eduardo Navarro, CEO of Empresas Copec.

The initiative is linked to Empresas Copec’s purpose of shaping the world for future generations and to its corporate campaign “Piensa Distinto. Piensa Futuro” (Think Differently. Think Future). Through art, the Company sought to bring a long-term perspective to the business conversation, encouraging attendees to consider not only investment and growth opportunities, but also the legacy that today’s decisions will leave for those who come after us.
