Four screens appear before the spectator showing in different ways a summary of the exploratory experience of four artists in our natural space. Christian Boltanski (FRA) conducted his project the lonely geography of Bahía Bustamante (Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina) to install some sound devices to be activated by the wind in order to establish a possible dialogue with the whales on the basis of those random sonorities. To develop her work Memory of the Glacier, Angelika Markul (POL) travelled to Perito Moreno (Santa Cruz, Argentina) and created a visual reflection upon those enormous masses of ice and their underlying fragility. Charly Nijensohn (ARG) toured the Uyuni Salt Flats (Bolivia), and in his work questioned the position of men before the immensity of nature. The PETS project by Eduardo Srur (BRA), which was performed at different locations on the Paraná River and the mouth of Riachuelo, aimed to draw attention to water pollution and the need to preserve this resource.
These experiences bear witness to the mark left by the artists’ vision about - or rather of - the landscape and also of how it permeates every aesthetic proposal bringing us close to horizons to behold and reflect upon.
