“A Imagem depois da Imagem: Simulacros da Paisagem” is a theoretical and practical essay that reflects on the rules and conventions of photography. When we apply a new context to an image we are giving it a new chance to live, by creating a new interpretation. Considering that the landscape is not a physical space but rather a set of ideas and emotions that we create from a place, I consider this artistic project as a simulacrum of the representation of landscape. Since the very concept of landscape is fiction, one of it's forms of representation is the possibility that the viewer can travel without being attached to something that identifies or references. Through a method of selecting and editing images that already exist in the world, I open a path for the construction of poetic systems and new perceptions of territories and sensibilities
