The act of being together by Jose Dávila Panorama, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California
Material density, gravity, and time are central to most of Jose Dávila’s practice. Known for sculptures that explore different balances created by opposing forces, Dávila has created a work for Desert X 2025 that spans both space and time. The marble blocks used in this piece are unaltered extractions from a quarry a few hundred miles across the U.S.–Mexico border.
Desert X is produced by The Desert Biennial, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in California, conceived to produce recurring international contemporary art exhibitions that activate desert locations through site-specific installations by acclaimed international artists. Its guiding purposes and principles include presenting public exhibitions of art that respond meaningfully to the conditions of desert locations, the environment and Indigenous communities; promoting cultural exchange and education programs that foster dialogue and understanding among cultures and communities about shared artistic, historical, and societal issues; and providing an accessible platform for artists from around the world to address ecological, cultural, spiritual, and other existential themes.

The image depicts a vast, open landscape under a dramatic, cloudy sky. In the foreground, several large, white stone blocks are arranged in a seemingly random pattern on a dry, barren ground. These blocks vary in size and shape, with some standing upright and others lying flat. The background features a row of wind turbines, indicating a wind farm, with mountains visible in the distance. The sky is filled with dark, heavy clouds, suggesting an impending storm. The overall scene conveys a sense of desolation and the juxtaposition of natural and man-made elements.
