    The earth is a satellite of the moon

    Artist Feature of Luciana Demichelis

    The earth is a satellite of the moon is a decolonial photographic project about the Argentine satellites and our ability to dream. The title refers to the poem by the Nicaraguan poet Leonel Rugama. Historically, the continents that send the most satellites into space year after year are from the north: United States and Europe, where some of them offer great internet services at a very high cost for the countries of our region. Latin America, despite its excellent scientific quality, sends satellites on specific occasions, these being emblems for Latin American countries. The most recent Argentine satellites have been launched into space with the intention of generating better connectivity conditions and images for our territory. For us they are an exercise in sovereignty, creation and an example of the completion of a collective dream. In this project I am interested in imagining how these devices look at our region, what the spaces where they are created and repaired are like, what characters we imagine when thinking about these spaces and how we can think of new narratives around them outside the spatial stereotype of other parts of the world. world. Now, in a DIY way, I am working on an antenna to investigate how to obtain images from these satellites. With a political view of imagination and creativity, I am interested in mixing photography and fiction to think about new perspectives within documentary photography. This project is part of a larger project that has to do with the sovereignty of our territory and how photographic creation can rethink the images and narratives of our land.
