What does the perimeter of an object reveal and conceal? How precise are the technological tools that frame and measure our gaze?
‘El Giro Fotogramétrico’ explores the material and economic possibilities and implications of close-range photogrammetry today. It stems from an artistic intuition and the contemporary urgency to explore the gesture of capturing, of freezing. In short, of photogrammetrizing our context. Through essayistic texts and three conversations, the book examines the uses of this technique in diverse fields such as forestry, modern medicine, and the digitization of heritage or artworks. Its pages question photogrammetry’s potential and limitations in relation to issues such as ownership, colonialism, knowledge structures, extractivism, archive creation, biopower, conservation, sovereignty, restitution, repair, and life and death.
