Abstract

The article discusses the hybrid relationship between nature and photography, from the idea that this relationship hinges memory and matter by the construction of imaginary landscapes and memories. The  photography focus on representation of the artificial over the natural. But is the representation of the grandeur of the landscape and the precariousness of the human before it that reveals the very nature of photography, thinking about itself and about reality.
