en la Naturaleza

naturaleza en la Naturaleza (2005)

Concept
After the audiovisual revolution—which introduced new machines for capturing the real that reproduced the object not only in its static state but also dynamically and even recreated reality itself through virtual world systems—the photographic copy seems more than ever like a fake. Reality, the world, seems to lose authenticity when its size is decreased in order for it to fit into a predetermined (flattened) format.

This piece explores the photographic treatment of nature as a sculptural element that “reverts” into nature. The pieces are conceived to be shown outdoors, installed in gardens, parks, mountains, forests…

Project
The installation consists of a series of large-format photographs (180 x 122 cm) printed on Duratrans, mounted in light boxes or between two sheets of tempered glass and placed/situated in a recreation of small, landscaped island-spaces.
