Résumé anglais The Argentine writer Daniel Moyano (1930-1992) was born in Buenos Aires but spent most of his life traveling and relocating, first within Argentina and then in Spain until his death. By the late 1950s he began his most fruitful period in artistic and existential terms : his arrival in the province of La Rioja, where he lived until 1976. Besides his facets as writer, musician and journalist, Moyano also translated his continuing concern for recording gestures and details in a valuable corpus of photographs that helped consolidate a different side of his creative registry. I propose in this work a journey through the author's archive with focus on relationship with nature and animals, considering his production of fiction, journalistic prose and photographs, in a mixture of languages and resources. My hypothesis is : in the same way that Moyano perceived and respected the place of animals among people in his daily life, he also did in this texts and photographs, emphasizing not only the integrity of all living things, but especially of some animals in the environment of La Rioja, highlighted by his silences and his persistence in the face of human and natural elements.
