INLAND
(2019-2024)

These fictitious landscapes, constructed from the superimposition of different soils from across Argentina, bring together fragments 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 a study of collected textures and a personal exploration of geology through photographs of details and expansive views.

Amid these gathered lands, strange, lost, or abandoned built structures emerge. Their scale is altered, transforming them into singular objects, foreign to nature. Various sites appear within the scenes: the façade of the Natural History Museum in Buenos Aires, the concrete structure of the El Chocón Dam, ornaments from a small shrine, or the entrance to a cemetery in the mountains of northern Argentina are glimpsed in veiled form. Among these presences, different evocations of water appear: a tank, a traditional water cistern, or a bridge.

The Andes, the Patagonian desert, and Valle de la Luna coexist here with rocks from the far south and the singular flora of El Palmar National Park. These heterogeneous places, which merge into alternate and simultaneous realities, are an intimate testimony of someone who has traveled through each of these lands, whose body has traversed regions and preserved their imprints. The use of cropping and artifice is explicit; while both allude to distance, they also constitute a gesture toward confronting remoteness and imagining territories beyond borders.

If each place offers us a unique experience of the landscape, could we reconfigure them into a new one? An experience that speaks of journeys, movement, uprooting, intuitive mapping, and the possibility of bringing distant geographies together.
