THIS IS NOT A LANDSCAPE. Extractivism, landscape and exile in the work of Daniel de la Barra

Abstract

This article is the first theoretical approach to Daniel de la Barra’s artistic work through different productions made between Peru, Italy and Spain. From the intersection of artistic practices, decolonial thought and political ecology, this work aims to delve into the discursive and aesthetic problems that emerge from the representations of Latin American nature. This production will give us the opportunity to investigate, from a global perspective, the colonial conflicts that have relegated nature to a subordinate space of exploitation and domination, as well as to analyze the problem of landscape representation understood as an extractive process and exercise of power.
