Somewhere Else is an installation made of photographs collected from the web, which have been assembled to create a three-dimensional collage to create an ideal and virtual landscape. The work refers to the photographic medium and its use, questioning the type of imageries it generates and how they are spread in the media. It is also an allusion to the photogenic and the tourist’s gaze expressed by means of a camera. Tourism creates mythologies: as a tourist we are in quest for virgin territories and untouched traditions to be recorded on camera.
