In his archaeological installation, Rimer Cardillo (1944) the Guggenheim and Pollock Awar- winning sculptor from Uruguay, currently living in New York, constructs an ancient South American landscape with ritual burial mounds inside the church at the Kiscell Museum.

The term cupí, named after the almost man-sized termite mounds quite common along the border of Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil, is for a construction harking back to the funeral customs of aboriginals, encrusted with clay prints of animals and plants from Amazonia and limestone pieces.
