Travels
Travel? In order to travel in enough just exist
Fernando Pessoa.
A
trip is done through the knowledge of all the things discovered,
expressed or told by others. This knowledge contributes to our
intellectual baggage in order to be fascinated for the unknown, the
closest and everything that can offer our imagination.
In
an itinerary for the memory and dreams, we built scenes where the
objects became images from others. The individual becomes a spectator
that looks for the dimension of his own world in this transformation.
The
book becomes a territory. The map a landscape, the paper the universe.
The metaphor explains itself in order to create the interior geography
of the existence. There is not simulation, the world appears as an
illusion and value is exactly equal to a reality.
The
photographs taken in this trip configures an unfolded and undulated map
over which are drawn the journeys of our desires and impressions.
Travels have two series: Landscapes and Discoveries.
In
Landscapes the point of view always is looking up. The airplanes
emphasize the discovery of magic surroundings and the dimension of the
landscapes from a bird's eye. The anonymous characters became
calligraphies, maps,...
In Discoveries, individuals are
in scenes were they are observing the horizon of their microcosms and
the images become strange microcosms.
