Situated practices/Performance
Impressions of Nature is a situated practice that explores the relationship between humans and the natural world through co-creation with the environment. It unfolds in direct contact with the territory, where nature is not merely represented but acts as an active agent in the creation of the image.
The artworks are produced through experimental cyanotype procedures on light-sensitive surfaces placed in the landscapes of the Argentine Pampas. Sunlight, water, and site materials—soil, sediments, sand, and vegetation—intervene in the making. Each piece emerges from an unrepeatable encounter between time, matter, and territory, where nature leaves its trace.
The series brings together audiovisual material as an integral part of the research. The on-site production takes on a performative dimension, in which the body engages directly with the natural environment. The videos function simultaneously as works and as records of the actions, establishing a dual status in an expanded practice of the image.
In this context, the work is situated in contemporary land art as a field practice, unfolding as an event in the landscape within performative and photographic processes. Photography and video form a shared space of sensory experimentation in the interaction between time, body, matter, and action.
This approach advances a form of engagement grounded in cooperation and dialogue with the natural world.
