Abstract

This article describes how the technologies of illusion in a stereoscopic audiovisual apparatus are utilised to problematise the limits of perception, and how our relationship with the invisible and the non-human may be re-negotiated through technological devices. The work articulates a reflection about the “ways of knowing” as the political dimension in the native forest and its relationship with the Huilliche people. The article problematises the dominant western episteme that separates the human from the non-human, which in turn is an ideological need for justifying the increasing ecological devastation. Hence, the epistemological becomes a political problem by assuming that it determines not only the ways in which we understand the world but also what defines our relationship with the environment.
