Francisco González Camacho - Reverting

“Reverting”reflects a profound material connection between the landscape and image-making,exploring environmental issues and the objectification of nature in Iceland.Created during my residency with the SIM program, this project merges photography and printmaking through material experimentation, seeking alternative ways to engage with the landscape. Issues like gentrification, waste, and environmental degradation, largely driven by tourism, challenge the idealized image of Iceland’s natural beauty. During my stay, I photographed popular sites such as Reynisfjara and Vatnajökull, reinterpreting them by combining these images with handmade recycled paper crafted from waste. This process echoes the transformative act of creating something from nothing—a kind of alchemy of waste—that underscores the fragile balance of our environment and the unending cycle it follows. https://www.frangc.com/reverting https://www.frangc.com/reverting Text and photograph: Francisco González Camacho Voice: AI + info www.audiotecafotografica.com
