TERRITORIO MEMORIA Y EXPERIENCIA
Xavier Ribas
UPV, Feb 2010
“Space begins because we look away from where we are”
Gus Blaisdell
La observación del territorio, tanto de sus componentes naturales como construidos, está íntimamente
relacionada con la fotografía. De hecho, muchas de las imágenes experimentales de los inicios de la
técnica fotográfica son representaciones del espacio exterior desde ventanas de edificios o vistas de
los edificios mismos. Después del retrato como práctica social y artística de la fotografía, la
representación del espacio y del territorio, en sus formas más originales o convulsas, ha sido desde sus
inicios, una de las práctica predominantes de la fotografía, bien como base para una meditación sobre
la belleza de la naturaleza, o para una reflexión en torno a la identidad de la cultura.
Tradicionalmente, la representación fotográfica del territorio suele responder a una mirada distante,
horizontal, objetiva, como ‘hacia afuera’, sugiriendo la separación entre el observador y el territorio.
Estos ‘paisajes fotográficos’ de carácter más o menos topográfico, tienden a sugerir una experiencia del
territorio basada más en la enajenación que de pertenencia, como si el territorio fuera para el fotógrafo
algo se puede ‘observar’ más que ‘habitar’. Este taller propone una alternativa a esta mirada distante,
apuntando hacia experiencias y representaciones fotográficas del territorio a partir de una relectura del
espíritu nómada del land-art y de los procesos creativos performáticos de autores como Ana Mendieta,
Robert Smithson, Richard Long, Denis Oppenheim, Perejaume o Andy Goldsworthy entre otros, y de
las experiencias territoriales urbanas de colectivos como Transurbancia o Stalker.
