América Vendida

América Vendida (América Sold) is a digital collage made from images captured during trips through the Americas from 2009 to 2011. By mixing natural and urban/constructed landscapes, the work calls attention to the progressive mercantilization of nature, an aspect of the social and political context of most places visited during the journeys through the Americas. Together with other five digital collages on canvas and two videos, the work was exhibited in Cotidiano & Mobilidade's exhibition at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage, in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, July - August 2011.
