The images presented are part of a series called The Oblivion of Mirrors, which connects the past and present of the Peruvian Amazon through documentary, fiction and 3D animation. These images, along with a film I am also preparing, reflect on the Western gaze and the extractivist practices that have dominated the region, particularly in regards to the rubber boom of the 18th and 19th centuries. By means of the manifestation of specters from a tormented past, the project proposes a conversation around how the region has been historically forgotten and how we tend to see this space as alien. By defining a visual language based on the contrast between the natural and the artificial, it speaks about our ability to forget and our fear to face that which we don’t want to see.
