In the spaces of the GAM Videoteca, a Tribute to Lothar Baumgarten, an artist who passed away in 2018, is taking shape, known for intertwining aesthetic research with a profound anthropological and ecological reflection.

The selection of exhibited works - particularly photographs - documents his immersive experience in the Yanomami village in Venezuela, where he lived for over a year in the late '70s.

In these shots, the landscape becomes a narrative, nature becomes language, memory, visual and symbolic construction.

The images do not simply reproduce what was seen, but open up new perspectives, bringing out multiple, layered meanings. Like in a famous photograph by the artist, where a bowl of milk with a fragment of green jelly evokes, in transparency, an entire landscape view, Baumgarten's works challenge the separation between object and representation, between the visible and the thought.
