This image research began in 2007 with the project "Taking place, images of a landscape idea" and had its first synthesis in the exhibition "Assuntos da paisagem a sul" (Tavira 2017). "Reduce" refers to coming back home, and the suffix "-re" indicates repetition over time. "Reduce-re" represents a possible genealogy of the Madonie landscape in Sicily. The symbol of the island alludes to the myth of the gorgon Medusa, the tripartite shape of the island, and the Roman use of the territory in grain production for the empire. I found it natural to explore this theme through photography because in the myth of Medusa's beheading, there is an origin of photography (1), and because in the word "landscape," there is an analogy between the act of planting a seed and burying a body (2). The Medusa on the Sicilian flag has hair made of wheat. The act of beheading frees its original beauty, and through the repetition of sowing and harvesting cycles, the landscape is shaped and its meaning constructed (3). Until a few years ago, the agricultural surface and the relative weight of crop yields were measured in "salme" and "tumoli," the same words that now identify the body of the deceased and their tomb.
