Land
M(y)ne was shot in 2002 in The Land of Fire, south of Chile.
The photographs present dead animal bodies and pieces of clothing abandoned
in the land. In the years following the 1973 coup d’etat,
large portions of these fields were mined, making them dangerous and uninhabitable.
Though these photographs don’t specifically document the effect
and aftermath of the mining, they attempt to metaphorically emphasize
the need for a restitution of consciousness about the effects of political
power-driven actions. Land M(y)ne, is a personal essay/reflection
on the ongoing “ideology of terror” imposed on civilians by
threats of violence, in Chile, and the rest of the world. |
