Departing from Robert Smithsons work involving photography, the concept of entropy will be analyzed in Smithsons work as a central notion in his production and also as a funding ground on which photographic language will be built. Such works take part in an artistic renovation of photography, outside its documental tradition. A study of Smithsons artistic and textual production will be developed, with focus on some of his main concepts, such as geological time, enantiomorfism and underside ruins. Such study will culminate in an understanding of how the American artists work and concepts are deeply related tomy own artistic production.
