Diary of a journey through strange lands...

5:46 p.m.

The video-installation, like an expanded cinema, which artist Charly Nijelsohn (Buenos Aires, 1966) presents at the Fundación Telefónica explores desolate landscapes around the globe. In those threatening panoramas, the human being, seen in all the videos, is at Nature's mercy. 
Filmed with a still camera in the ices of Chaltén, the Amazon or Bolivia, the bodies endure the harshness of time...

For the public, it's an overwhelming experience of extreme emotion. It certainly reminds us of those paintings of 19th century's Romanticism, in which men were depicted alone, facing Nature in the most diverse landscapes.
