I made the series Cultural Landscapes with scanned or downloaded images from European
paintings of landscape, digitally joined with my own photographs of
Latin-American sights (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Peru)
My production has landscape as its
central element as well as beauty and the intersections between the natural and
the created; questioning that even what we consider natural is actually the
result of a figment of culture. Through collage and photography, I show how the
same territory can be shaped up to convey a different landscape to each new
viewer.
My work goes deeper into the fact that
representation makes the existence of landscape possible. Representation is a
way to make the object real and show it to us. It is the moment the artists
starts painting their surroundings on their canvases when the territory becomes
landscape. The observation of the artist is a possibility, one look at the
world.
Our
observation is conditioned by the multiplicity of ways in which landscape has
been represented along the history of art; therefore we do not observe our
surroundings in a static, unique and truthful way, but as a plastic production.
The way in which environment is represented is the shape the world takes up.
