It is an inhabitable camera obscura, understood as \u201cArchitecture of Image<\/em>\u201d, being it a construction that, inside, allows perception of the physical phenomena of light, explaining experientially the rise of pre-photographic technical image. The construction also intends to sensitize the guest to the relationship between image and territory, confronting him, in gradual appearance, to the inverted image of the maritime landscape from Caleta Los Morros located in Tom\u00e9\u2019s Coliumo area.<\/p>\nThe established predilection of image, of replica, above direct experience with the source, had a start with the instrumentalization of the \u201ccamera obscura<\/strong>\u201d. Rooms were transformed or built to produce such an optical phenomenon, within which with only a small perforation (pinhole) the inverted image of the illuminated exterior could be achieved and projected inside a such darkened room. Original optical mechanism through which the first \u201cseeing machine<\/strong>\u201d was conceived, which in turn originated the first pre-photographic representations. These proto-constructions gave start to a type of Architecture of Image<\/em>. Rudiment construct that initiated our virtual and mediated relation to the world.<\/p>\nToday experiencing the camera obscura allows us to comprehend the origins of the hyperrealistic image that holds a monopoly on our culture of unthinking consumerism. As a sort of architecture of image, we can achieve a pre photographic experience, previously described by Aristotle, perceived by the naked eye, with no mediator, which not only explains the phenomenon of our vision, but also that of photography, instrument that monopolizes and holds hegemonical power over our way of seeing and recognizing the world. Building this type of Architecture is an opportunity to create a didactic experience for its visitors about the comprehension of image and the territory that holds it. Thus, its name also allows for the establishment of a link between language (Mapudungun<\/em>), technique (photography) and territory. Aiwi\u00f1<\/em> which in Mapudungun<\/em> means \u201cto see your shadow<\/strong>\u201d is a word that notes self-observation, and is the only word in Mapudungun<\/em> related to the word \u201cimage\u201d which etymologically comes from the Latin imago (a copy, likeness, imitation). This viewpoint camera invites its visitors to see the illuminated shadow of their own territory as a way of inviting reflection about their conception of landscape\u2026 this time as an inverted landscape.<\/p>\n
