Photographer Lola Guerrera attempts to empower a resource taxed area of Mexican desert in hope of raising awareness of a previous metaphysical interrelation that was shared by the indigenous people and the land. If I had found about Lola Guerrera I would have included this work in my dissertation which held some concern for the practice of rituals in indigenous cultures.

In this recent series by Guerrera an orchestrated performance is initiated through the use of brightly coloured smoke clouds that through a strange surreality narrate the relationships between Human and landscapes carried forward by the inertia of smoke resembling apocalyptic natural disasters.

What is meant to be a signifier for a balanced relationship with the natural landscape also acts as a metaphysical performance by the land to depict an unseen, unperceived dimension.
