"There is no landscape without interpretation", says historian Javier Maderuelo, and based on this premise, I explore different plastic possibilities within this genre in search of metaphors and emotional relationships with the landscape.
Interpreted Landscape is a work made from a series of photographs taken of light wires on which moss balls have grown, or pigeons have stood forming a kind of score, which are interpreted by musical boxes with the punch card system, creating a series of nostalgic melodies from the randomness of nature.
"Landscape is not a mere physical place, but the set of a series of ideas, sensations and feelings that we elaborate from the place and its constituent elements. The word landscape, with a letter rather than a place, calls for an interpretation, the search for a character and the presence of an emotionality."
