OBJETOS VIVIENTES / LA SUBVERSION DEL DETALLE / LAS LEYES DE LA OPTICA
The installation by Adriana Miranda shown here contains work from three series. Together they deal with the threat that man forms for nature. Through our activities animal species become extinct, the sea level is rising and an idealised, ‘Arcadian’ landscape still exists only in our imagination. The dominant position and violent attitude that humans take with respect to the natural environment has irrevocable consequences for mankind itself. In the self-portraits from the series LAS LEYES DE LA OPTICA (Optical laws) only Miranda’s shadow is to be seen, spreading over the landscape like a dark shade. In OBJETOS VIVIENTES (Living objects) she photographs animals in the same manner as people would be portrayed: with carefully planned lighting and an eye for details, close-ups and facial expressions.
