Sumario:The series Submerged Portraits by photographer Gideon Mendel portrays mostly powerless and passive inhabitants in a variety of flooded places across the globe. The photographer’s goal was to raise awareness concerning humanity’s generalised vulnerability in terms of climate change. Beyond this stated objective, which we will discuss, the geographical analysis of this series of images aims to understand the way in which the inhabitants and places represented in these photographs are staged in order to decrypt the representations and messages they convey. This article aims to denaturalise, reterritorialise, and repoliticise these images, which are the result of choices that can be criticized.
