INLAND
(2019-2024)
These fictitious landscapes, constructed from the superimposition of different soils from across Argentine territory, feature records that trace an imaginary journey from Jujuy to Ushuaia. As the compass rose blurs, dreamlike images of intertwining stones, mountains, waters and buildings emerge. They evoke multiple temporal layers, offering an opportunity to reinterpret the concepts of transit, wandering and change. This is a search for a subjective landscape: a reflection of memory and an interplay of emotional fragments. This work is as much a documentation as an exercise in imagination. It is an exercise in collecting textures and a personal study of geology through photographs of details and broad vistas.
Strange constructions emerge amidst these gathered lands, altered in scale, becoming unique objects of contemplation amidst nature. Traces of various sites are inscribed in the scenes: the façade of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Buenos Aires appears veiled, as do the concrete of the El Chocón dam, the ornaments of a small sanctuary, the entrance to a cemetery in the northern mountains and a bridge that connects provinces.
The Patagonian desert, the Andes Mountains, the Valley of the Moon and the rocks from the southernmost part of the country coexist here, as does the unique flora of El Palmar National Park. These heterogeneous places, which merge in these alternate and simultaneous realities, are an intimate testimony of someone who has walked each of those lands and whose body has traversed regions, bearing their imprints. Although The act of collage and artifice are explicit and allude to distances, they also constitute a gesture to confront remoteness and imagine territories beyond borders.
If each place offers a unique landscape experience, can we combine them to create a new one? An experience that speaks of journeys, movement, uprooting, intuitive mapping and the possibility of uniting distant geographies.
