The Gaze Finds Its Reflection in the Landscape
Being Landscape continues the journey initiated in Retinographies. My coexistence with high myopia, which for years represented a limitation, has over time transformed into a distinct way of seeing and the origin of this series.
The images establish a dialogue between the deterioration of the eye and the erosion of the landscape. The loss of sharpness functions as a metaphor for the transformation and wear that the passage of time leaves upon both vision and the territory. Landscape and vision share the same temporality.
This work invites us to look differently at everyday landscapes. It does not aim to explain or document them, but rather to place us at that point where the recognizable begins to blur while the territory itself transforms.
In this relationship between myopia and landscape, photography becomes the medium to continue inhabiting it from my own visual experience.
