About the Item

Transmission lines, Atacama Desert, Chile, 17 July, 2017, limited edition, Ariel color photograph, limited edition, signed ATACAMA: Renewable Energy and Mining in the High Desert of Chile CHANGING PERSPECTIVES: Renewable Energy and the Shifting Human Landscape is a long-term aerial and ground-based photography project documenting global renewable energy development. Chile is the world's leading copper exporter and the second-largest lithium producer. We use Chilean copper and lithium daily in our cars, computers, and smartphones. Chile's mining industry historically depended on imported coal, diesel, and natural gas for its energy. Yet, the geography of the Atacama Desert offers excellent solar and wind potential. Since 2017, when I first photographed the Atacama, the country has tripled its renewable energy capacity. New solar, wind, and storage projects supply electricity to the grid, transmit power to population centers in the South, provide electricity and solar thermal energy to mines, and reduce mining's dependence on fossil fuels. Over the past five years, many mines have transitioned to 100% renewable energy for their electricity needs. With the cost of solar and wind electricity production below that of coal, renewable energy provides a viable economic opportunity for mines with the added benefit of reducing the industry's carbon footprint. Chile's innovative approach offers hope and inspiration to other countries. This series, photographed in 2022, continues my examination of the evolving nexus between renewable energy development and mining in Chile's Atacama Desert. Please also view the ATACAMA 2017 series.

Atacama Desert, Chile Pico Garcez
By Pico Garcez
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Pico Garcez (b.1963, São Paulo, Brazil) In Love with Photography, Iconography and Painting, exercises his gaze from childhood when he began to play with his first camera. Practicing freedom of look and intuition, seeking aesthetic challenges linked to the observation of the image in subjects such as: solitude, reflections of emptiness and behavior. Awarded by The Art of Intuitive Photography in NY for 4 times, Pico also find his work in the permanent collections of: The Rio Art Museum (MAR), Museum of Modern Art of Bahia (MAM-BA) and Museum of Photography of Fortaleza among other international collections. Having contact with a work of art has to be transformative. This photographic essay by Pico Garcez leads us to this, puts the gaze, sees and sees in constant dispute. The meaning is hidden and this leads us to be co-authors. In Pico's UNCONSCIOUS-NEST, work is not the aesthetics or the colors that speak the most, instead they fog our critical eye, trying to distract us in the central core of which it treats. It is an experience to observe these images. Pico puts us & leaves us in a void where our own inner solitude surfaces - Not having to share with. Where is life, if not ours? We are part of this work for empathy, and in that, Pico was generous - letting us in. UNCONSCIOUS-NEST is not a geographical place, instead it lives in us and everywhere. It shows what we've done for ourselves - it's a pool without a ledge. – “I can but I will not ... - I am here! I want to die and die where I've touched my heart...
