Francisco Gonzalez Camacho stayed in Reykjavík, Iceland, “a land of pristine natural beauty” to create his works. During his stay, he witnessed how issues such as urbanization, waste, and environmental degradation—accelerated by mass tourism—challenge the idealized image of the land. In response, he sought new ways of reinterpreting the Icelandic landscape by combining photographs of heavily visited natural sites with his own handmade recycled paper, produced from local waste materials.
By layering stereotypical images of the land with the tangible realities embedded in its materials, the project visualizes the cycles of the natural environment, embodying the very notion of “Reverting”—a return, a restoration, a process of going back.

Francisco Gonzalez Camacho (b. 1990) is a Spanish visual artist currently based in Finland. He holds a BA in Documentary Photography at the University of South Wales (UK), currently studying a Masters' degree in Photography at Aalto University (FI). Gonzalez Camacho's work presents a process-based approach interweaving photography and graphic printing methods, with Nordic nature as the central subject. Rooted in intuitive exploration, his practice explores themes such as materiality, immigration and the connectedness between landscape and self.
He has been exhibited internationally, including Saatchi Gallery (UK), the Finnish Museum of Photography (FI), the Griffin Museum of Photography (US), the Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (JP) and featured in publications such as Der Greif, Booooooom, C41 magazine and FishEye magazine among others.
