Abstract

This article consists of a reflective log and digression from the review and dialogue of two artistic research processes developed between 2014-2016 and 2019-2020 around the Alto Patache Fog Oasis, Atacama Desert, Tarapacá Region (Chile). By articulating speculative nodes between spatially and temporally deferred processes, this article seeks to establish connections and derivations between a first research process through field exploration work methodology and a second research process through chronicles and historical archives analysis methodology. In this way, the article threads questions and relationships between the material quality, the symbolic meanings, and the denomination that gives name to the phenomenon of coastal fog called “camanchaca,” also passing through the notions of the desert, the border, and visibility, and reflecting on its implications in the configuration of the landscape imaginary in the Tarapacá desert.
