Impossibilities of Landscape: Strategies for Surviving Confinement

The following series explores the artist’s perceptions from the quarantines imposed in Chile (Santiago) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our confinement, mediated by images that come through screens, only reveal the impossibility of experiencing that outside. In this confinement, that anchoring to the territory is blurred, and we don’t longer inhabit our spaces and bodies. We live through the images that are produced before us.
