Spanish term

un Salar

Spanish to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) Photographic exhibition
El hilo conductor del proyecto es la percepción de un Salar a través de un recorrido por el espacio temporal del paisaje, rememorando así, las imágenes proyectadas por la cámara oscura como metáfora del tiempo.

I was also thinking of Bolivia [Uyuni], I've seen that and others.
Terry Burgess Oct 16, 2007:
There seems to be a lack of consensus as to what this actually is. Some sources describe it as a salt flat, others as a salt lake, and others still as a salt desert. Also, the capital "S" I think comes from the one in Bolivia [Uyuni] but I agree it shouldn't have a capital "s".:-)
Juan Jacob Oct 16, 2007:
Y sí, difícil: hay salares naturales y los hay artificiales. A ver.
Juan Jacob Oct 16, 2007:
Sea lo que sea, salar sin mayúscula. Es un lago articial de poca profundidad. Se deja evaporar el agua y queda... pues sal de mar.

Anything to do with the Pirlo photo exhibition in Bolivia?

Is it a picture of a salt flat? (CONTEXT)
Note from asker:
The exhibitor is Pedro Ortuño but I have no more idea of context than that. It could be a salt flat but I seriously don't know!
