THE TRILOGY: LANDSCAPE WITHIN LANDSCAPE


This research, whose origin is the sublime emotion that the landscape evokes, explores its movement and aesthetics in relation to the contemporary human being. Landscape within Landscape exalts the sacred side of nature – beautiful and violent at the same time – and confronts this infinite beauty with the finitude of our own bodies.

This research about landscape, rite and tradition is a proposition to not look at landscape from an extractive distance again, or from an intention to tame it as a souvenir. Landscape within Landscape, is a proposition to touch the landscape, to get inside it and, from within, look at it with no other option but to look at ourselves.

La Señorita Blanco's work navigates between choreography and plastic installation. The artist digs into the concept and aesthetics of landscape incessantly and endows the pieces with a great aesthetic beauty, not absent of philosophical depth and a careful reflection on the relationship between exterior landscape and interior landscape, landscape of the flesh,our human flesh.

Landscape within Landscape began with the premiere at Teatros del Canal of Landscape within landscape: 1. Sacrificio in the year 2021. And, although at first La Señorita Blanco said that this research would be a chapter in her career, it has become her vital research and the creation of her own language in which to continue excavating. 

La Señorita Blanco resorts to the pink pantone to exalt the fusion of the bodies with space, creating an extension of the flesh towards the landscape in an attempt to fuse the matter of the bodies with it in order to find the longed-for permanence of them.

The bodies of the performers receive a pictorial-sculptural treatment that, supported by a lighting that radically flees from the theatrical to present itself as a museum installation, makes direct reference to works by artists such as Caravaggio or Bernini.
