ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photograph is part of a series about an unusual way of seeing nature at night illuminated by the stars and artificial light. Used in a clever way, artificial light intervenes in the landscape and makes it feel like a stage, like a theatrical place where a million years' play is performed by nature. The images were taken at the Chilean Pacific Coast where there are still places free of light pollution, and where both celestial and ocean waters meet each other.

AUTHOR
Benjamin Briones Grandi is a Chilean fine-art photographer. Initially, Benjamin started doing classical landscape photography, but in time developed a rather conceptual work producing minimalistic atmospheric landscapes. The subject matter of his work is not the territory photographed, nor what it felt being in those places. The real subject matter is the person looking at the resulting image, it is about the viewer that uses the landscape as a stage where thoughts, memories and feelings can be laid out.
