Intervened Nature: The Semiotics of Error
This project is based on profound meditation on the needs of nature and our omission or aversion to it.
These photographic interventions establish a concrete dialogue with the viewer; an active pause is necessary for contemplation to become an act of semiotic discovery.
What new meaning emerges when the image itself is resignified through our perspective?
This project comprises two distinct series. The photographs were taken in Argentine Patagonia, at the Perito Moreno Glacier and on the trails to Pliegue Tumbado in El Chaltén, Santa Cruz.
1. Signs: The Silent Authority (Black and White Series)
The Signs series exposes the silent authority of nature. With the stark and rigorous character of black and white, these three works conceive hidden advertising messages: Go Away, Not Here, Fuck Humans. These works do not shout; Rather, they entice the eye to approach and decipher these inescapable messages written on rocks, on a dead tree with the mountain peak in the background.
From a semiotic perspective, the image captured at that moment becomes a new sign, a new code of information that invites us to recognize the fundamental truth of the landscape—these are the signs.
2. Notro Flower: The Human Glitch (Color Triptych Series)
The Notro Flower series is a visual reflection of information failure and the aesthetics of digital error. It consists of four color triptychs that do not document a flaw in nature, but rather expose that the characteristics we visualize do not reflect reality, but are instead generated by human beings in their relationship with the digital world. An erroneous image, when read by the digital system, produces unexpected pixels and shapes. These combinations of analog and digital collages reveal the mismatch in our interpretation and behavior toward nature. This digital error is a powerful metaphor for our fragmented understanding of our planet.
This project explores how nature persists with its messages and how we have a fractured and erroneous perception of its needs.
