Resumen

The essay studies Huarcaya's "amazograms" from the category of the sublime. In his attempt to represent greatness, the jungle permeates the paper, altering the classical conventions of photographic art. The images are sublime because they lack precise limits and account for a disruptive force that tries to capture itself as a limit. They are images that both return to the origins of photographic tradition and testify to what is left of nature in the context of a utilitarian rationality that no longer knows an outside.
