Selkman and photomontage

In my free time I really enjoy surfing on internet, looking for new music, movies, and photographers. Blogs seem to be a paradise, in which you can find everything you want. This weekend I discover a blog called  "Un viaje increible" (this is the link) the blog is written by Matias Callone, an Argentine adventurer that  decided  to  travel and take photos around the world. In a post he uploaded photomontages about  the Argentine Patagonia and Selkman. This week I´m going to write about this photomontage.

Photomontage is a technique of producing a composite picture by combining several photographs. In this case, historics Selkman´s  photos with new photos taken by Matias.

This photo was taken in Ushuaia, capital of Provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártica and Islas del Atlántico Sur in Argentina.

 In this photo you can admire the virginal twilight landscape, and a Selkman´s family in their canoe.

Matias'  photos make me think about our ancestors and their history. 

I like to imagine how life would have been in America if the Spanish conquerors hadn´t  destroyed all.

I think that this type of photomontages are necessary to make us think about the relationship between art and  memory.
