Ecología visual para galerías y museos: Antonio Guerra y la renovación de la fotografía de paisaje

Antonio Guerra (Zamora, 1983) is a young photographer with a career of admirable coherence in his variety of thematic proposals, which masterfully combine aesthetic contemplation with a sharp conceptual inquiry. Trained in the era of post-photogr@phy (Joan Fontcuberta), his multidisciplinary artistic installations invite the viewer to reflect on the landscape as an ideological construction while stimulating a respectful approach to nature. Through a language traditionally linked to mass reproduction and ubiquity, according to Walter Benjamin's theories, “auratic” experience effects are achieved in galleries and museums, in a similar way to the conceptual and contemplative stimulus provoked by Land Art. To show the tradition and novelty of this artist, both the evolution of landscape in the traditional arts and the integration of photography in the context of other contemporary artistic creations are analyzed.
