Best Book of the Year in the Bibliophilia category at PHotoESPAÑA (2024) and Special Mention in The Author Book Award category at Arles, Les Rencontres de la Photographie (2024).
This companion piece to acclaimed exhibitions of the “On The Geography” project includes 31 “info-photographic” plates presented as striking triptychs.
Appealing to readers interested in innovative artistic approaches, offering them a multidimensional exploration of the landscape by combining artistic expression with sociological and technical analysis.
In the original series “On the Geography of Green”, carried out between 2016–2022, in abandoned drive-in theaters of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, Moreno explores landscape from a decolonized, gender-informed perspective. The book includes the first sketches on the original Humboldt plates that inspired the project, as well as 10 other plates, where the methodology is applied to other site-specific contexts and issues; On the Geography of Red (a study of Spanish museum collections from a gender perspective), On the Geography of the River and On the Geography of Chutculucene (studies on the production of knowledge and capital in the landscape from a post humanist perspective).
Echoing methodologies first used by early explorers of the American continent such as Alexandre Von Humboldt, Moreno juxtaposes striking imagery and data in order to introduce a critical view of the locations explored. The result is a novel book of photography that explores the canonical identity of the landscape to sublime effect, as well as presenting a sociological and technical study of the places explored.

One of Bests Photography Books of the Year by PHOTOESPAÑA 2018
This carefully-designed artist’s book leads us right to the epicentre of the artist’s work: the exploration of subjectivity as a way to resist the reification typical of capitalist societies, and the non-productive use of industrial spaces and scientific representation as a mechanism for interrogating modernity.
This limited edition is the culmination of the artist’s monumental project, Art Forms in Mechanism (2019-2017). The project, which took the form of an impressive installation composed of photographic images printed on burlap and industrial objects from her family’s factory, was exhibited for the first time at the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Tabacalera Promoción del Arte in Madrid during PHotoESPAÑA 16.
With this volume, Linarejos brings to a close a project that began with an intervention on Karl Blossfeldt’s original edition of Urformen der Kunst (Art Forms in Nature, 1932) and would span eight years spent photographing nineteenth-century botanical models from the scientific cabinets of Madrid’s historic teaching institutes. The present edition is intended to be a facsimile of the project, including the original intervention on the Blossfeldt book as well as additional essays by American critics Fabiola López Durán and Surpik Angelini.
