Landscape (Neon)

The word ‘landscape’ does not appearin spanish until XVII century and was used to designate the pictorial representation of nature. From there’s going to make reference to that piece of nature that we admire aesthetically. Therefore, the landscape is a cultural creation that is determined primarily by our gaze. This work thinks on the idea that it is our view what constructs landscape, in other words, without our presence there is no landscape -there is nature, but not landscape…. 

The work consists of a neon that is activated through a motion ultrasonic sensor when a presence in the courtroom is detected.

Technique: Neon, ultrasonic movement sensor.   Size: 90 x 21 cm.   Year: 2006
