This photographic work by Mataparda (José Mesa) aims to follow in the footsteps of André-Pierre Ledru and try to recreate Tenerife photographically in 1796. The ideal would be a journey through time: all one could photograph would be 1796, but even today, if one selects the points of view and the frames we can see fragments of reality that have not changed substantially in two hundred years. It produces a feeling of nostalgia, of the mysterious and dark. It also shows the beauty of the arid, the volcanic, the chaotic. A wilder, harder island.
