According to Jacques Rancière (2012) all images have a power that stems from their double condition of “brute sensitive presence” and “discourse ciphering a story” (p. 20). Such a condition operates its own regime that articulates the visible and the sayable, so that one sees beyond what is shown and one thinks, deduces and speaks even without words or subtitles to restrict the image's power of expression. From the articulation between what is seen and what is said, a visual narrative is imposed. However, the charm of the photographic series that follows derives from how much what is shown, the referents of a landscape, impose silence, which does not avoid thinking, deducing and even speaking, however, the motto of this silence summons a distant time, a time of which nothing has to be said. There is only the feeling that “there was”. What? It doesn't matter.
