Abstract

The concept of visual ecocriticism is proposed through experimental photography, taking plants as a formal reference, one of the main objects of study in Botany. To do this, a series of artistic works are presented that resort to the hybrid use of various techniques of experimental photography, such as the argyrotype, cyanotype and solvent transfers, among others. The objective is to achieve social awareness through aesthetic appreciation, detached from economic and selfish pragmatism, typical of the Anthropocene of various aspects linked to sustainability such as climatic emergency, clean energy and the application of technologies that compromise environmental quality. Keywords: Argyrotype; Experimental Photography; Visual Ecocriticism; Plant blindness; Botany; Anthropocene; Climate emergency
