Press Coverage:
International artist, Linarejo Moreno, has won countless awards for her photographic and installation work, including an Ankaria Photo International Prize for 21st Century Photography for her “On the Geography of Green” series.
This companion piece to acclaimed exhibitions of the “On The Geography” project includes 31 “info-photographic” plates presented as striking triptychs.
Appealing to readers interested in innovative artistic approaches, offering them a multidimensional exploration of the landscape by combining artistic expression with sociological and technical analysis.
In the original series “On the Geography of Green”, carried out between 2016–2022, in abandoned drive-in theaters of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, Moreno explores landscape from a decolonized, gender-informed perspective. The book includes the first sketches on the original Humboldt plates that inspired the project, as well as 10 other plates, where the methodology is applied to other site-specific contexts and issues; On the Geography of Red (a study of Spanish museum collections from a gender perspective), On the Geography of the River and On the Geography of Chutculucene (studies on the production of knowledge and capital in the landscape from a post humanist perspective).
Echoing methodologies first used by early explorers of the American continent such as Alexandre Von Humboldt, Moreno juxtaposes striking imagery and data in order to introduce a critical view of the locations explored. The result is a novel book of photography that explores the canonical identity of the landscape to sublime effect, as well as presenting a sociological and technical study of the places explored.
