The landscape, a subjective selection of a spatial-temporal fragment of the natural or cultural environment, has been a mean of appropriation and understanding of a particular context. Beyond its aesthetic or contemplative qualities, the representation of the landscape is the artist's sense of belonging and "being-there".

Through a series of photographs, intervened with thread, that portray different natural sceneries in Mexico as well as the urban landscape of Mexico City, Sumie García generates tension between times. The thread unmasks anachronistic moments making them coexist and condensing them into a single space, resulting in a dislocated landscape.

"Landscape Anachronisms" explores the representation of personal memory in a two-dimensional support, by giving shape to the abstract space that is built in the mind when evoking an event of the past.
