Betiana Bellofatto published her photobook “Terra Australis Aedificanda” in Ushuaia 2021
Her activity combines photography, installation, art in the public space and internet art
Betiana Bellofatto with her photobook published in Ushuaia in 2021:
Terra Australis Aedificanda (Southern Land To Be Built).
The book deals with The Land of Fire, i.e., with Tierra del Fuego,
on the South of Argentina.
Born in 1979 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Betiana Bellofatto studied Audiovisual Design and Photography. She has performed as direction and production assistant in several fictional short-films and commercial spots. In 2009, in Berlin, she co-founded i Collective, a multicultural artist collective that works on multidisciplinary projects. Her activity combines photography, installation, art in the public space and internet art. Her work has been exhibited in Argentina, Mexico, Spain, Germany, Belgium and Czech Republic.
In 1959 the Antarctic Treaty is signed, which declares that Antarctica will be a continent for peace, science and international collaboration. In 2015, the author travels to the Esperanza Antarctic base to carry out an artistic project: a purification ritual, through which the participants free themselves from their emotional burdens to contribute to the construction of said landscape of peace. âTerra Australis Aedificandaâ is made up of photographs taken during that art residency.
