Destierro

The project “Destierro” reflects on the representation of the landscape from the romantic point of view, the exploitation of the landscape with the fields, the question of colonial domination, the expeditions of traveling painters beginning in the seventeenth century to the present maps satellites and their connection to power and surveillance.

Daniel de la Barra brings to the exhibition space of Galeria Joan Prats an action previously carried out in the Delta de l’Ebre, within the framework of a residence at Lo Pati (Amposta). The installation immerses us in a reflection on the monoculture of rice and its consequences at the environmental level.
