Ana María Guerra created Virtual Landscapes, a series of photographs taken without a camera. In the colour darkroom, she captured the melting process of ice cubes using an enlarger and photographic paper. Afterwards, the process involved scanning the photographs and manipulating them using 3D software. She wanted to explore the materiality of photography in its purest form using only light and a photosensitive support. The outcome appears similar to Google Maps images. There’s a certain poetry in the fact that they look like digital landscapes when they are actually just traces of ice cubes melting away.
