Landscape, nature and artifice

What relation do we have with landscape when our existence is more artificial than natural?
Nana Schlez juxtaposes road signals and tropical foliage on a clear sky.

Through a lenticular printing system, perceptible in the physical presence of this work, landscape becomes dynamic.

Digital records that go from the urban space to jungle.  

In this installation, Patricia Viel   registers the actions that she makes in the Patagonian desert.

In this case, the virgin and desolated landscape becomes the setting from the launching of flares.

Through this impressive contrast, it is possible to clearly perceive the effect that each gesture has in our environment.

In The Man who sold the world, a satellite photograph that registers the presence of fire in the wetlands of Entre Ríos and Rosario is transferred to a tapestry.

Inés Martino, born in Santa Fe, turns the reality that restlessly threatens essential ecosystems for the wellbeing of our planet into a tactile experience.

Through a careful pencil work, Sebastián Bona represents scenes where game and innocence are interrupted by violent explosions.

Certain distance of gestures and costumes contrapose with the contemporary feeling that these catastrophes provoke.

A dystopia both real and fictional.

On a White canvas, Mercedes Resch placed fragments of tools found in the pampas soil.

With the passing of time, the dirt and the rust left their print on this Argentine Pampa’s shroud.

The tools reveal as culture devices.

A work that becomes memory of works and desires.

The Gaucho is part of an identity built in a territory.

To its folkloric and heteronormative stereotype, Claudio Ojeda contraposes a queer gaucho, with a naked torso and wearing makeup.

The photographic image and its versatility as an operation to subvert the cliché.

In wichi culture, nature is geometrized giving place to a variety of patterns: one of them is the armadillo’s ear. In Sun glare Claudia Alarcón incorporates this design to her weaving made with chaguar fibers.

Crafts from old traditions irrupt in the present art scene and allow us to rethink the place of handcraft in a world that gets more and more mechanical and global.

Karin Godnic’s watercolors have the silence and honesty of that which, away from its habitat, reveals perfection and mystery.

With careful details, the stones show their aesthetic historicity.

If a landscape is the result of the relationship between an active subject that watches and an apprehended environment, Federico Profiri inverts this relationship.

In Para-landscape the landscape watches, threatened by our pretension of omniscience and opening a portal to the little that is left unknown.

Intervened with careful folds and stitches, the photographs by Silvia Martín del Campo evoke multiple feelings.

From contemplation to creation, nature as a facilitator of intimate rituals.
