{"product_id":"oasis","title":"Oasis","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLise Gaudaire carries out an anthropological, documentary, artistic -and also probably intimate and introspective- search or investigation through the Axarquia valley (from the Arabic \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAsh Sharqiyah\u003c\/em\u003e, الشرقية; \"eastern\"), in Andalusia, between the Costa del Sol and the Costa Tropical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this region, “exotic” fruits and vegetables are cultivated on a large scale and intensively, in monoculture, as is the case with avocados, which today occupy the slopes of the mountains as far as the eye can see. Although the landscape of the Axarquia may seem green at first glance, under its generous foliage a raw, parched, thirsty and monochrome soil can be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd yet, in the heart of this \"almost desert\", Lise finds a reassuring bubble of greenery, an oasis: Fernando's greenhouse, where he consciously grows plants with low water consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eOasis\u003c\/em\u003e, Lise Gaudaire reveals her own experiences and projections to raise the notions of disorientation, exoticism or mental and fantastic representation of the landscape. If the word today evokes a fertile island due to the presence of water in the middle of a vast desert, it is often forgotten that an oasis is artificial, entirely created by man, whose permanent attention is necessary to ensure the proper maintenance of the irrigation system: in short, an artificial paradise. The oasis is not just a shady palm grove: behind the cliché, it raises the terribly contemporary questions of the globalized economy and its ecological impact, sustainable agriculture and water consumption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLise Gaudaire focuses her work on the relationships that man maintains with the landscape, his territory, the way he has of contemplating and apprehending it and, especially, those who work on it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond their sensitive dimension, her photographic series resemble both an anthropological study and an archeology of the landscape.
