LEJOS DE LA TIERRA
ARTE Y NATURALEZA EN EL PERÚ CONTEMPORÁNEO
VICH, VÍCTOR
Through works by several Peruvian artists, the author seeks to observe the link between the destruction of nature, symbolic representation, and systems of social domination. Each chapter is concerned with commenting on different images that represent the natural world as a kind of historical impasse in which the crisis of the current development model is present. The images propose that something central to contemporary society can be questioned if we look at the natural space. All these works show how, guided only by the discourse of "economic growth", we are only exacerbating a greater catastrophe. It is clear that, in the face of the current state of nature, the practices of art register a profound malaise, but at the same time "they take a position".
