Laguna el Verjón captures fog-shrouded lake photography where atmospheric mist transforms high-altitude laguna into spectral ghostly vision—meditation on intertwined temporalities superimposing geological mountain formation time with immediate weather's fleeting oscillation. Winograd's documentary lens reveals how fog makes landscape feel haunted: traces of many pasts persisting in present as melancholic friars seem to wander through mist, land becoming territory of deities and demons through atmospheric condition alone. The work exercises photographer's gaze on páramo ecosystem where all seasons can manifest in single day, sometimes in hour, creating dynamic temporal instability contrasted with ancient geological permanence. This image generates contemplative emotions about Colombia's spiritual landscape traditions, suggesting that fog reveals invisible presences making high-altitude lakes mysterious otherworldly rather than merely scenic.
What began as a pretext to exercise Miguel Winograd's gaze, little by little became a meditation on different intertwined temporalities. The superposition of very ancient times with dynamic and fleeting cycles: from the geological time of formation of those mountains, through the recurring periods of flowering and decay of plant life, to the immediate oscillation of a climate that oscillates between extremes: all stations in a day, sometimes in an hour or less. And at the same time, traces of many pasts persist in a spectral present. Ghosts. Melancholic friars wandering in the fog. Land of deities and demons.
