Presentation
Eugenio Trías in his book “Beautiful and the sinister” refers to an “inhospitable familiarity” between the beautiful and the sinister. This familiarity is proper to Photography because it inexorably oscillates between the unrepeatable and the endless, between loss and rest… Losses that finally take Phtography from the immediacy of the real, leading it to wander through the paths of dreams and the imaginary, making it “the art of accommodating what remains”.
Remains that embody “founded objects” which are elaborated, constructed and given to see by photography in a process of conversion and transmutation of its “reality”.
The series “Vortices” intends to interrogate these objects, founded in places which are subtracted from the rhythm of the social clock, trying to approach –from photography- the notion of subject and ruin. They try to glimpse the vortices on which these objects revolve and gravitate: the questions about who we are? and what are we when we are not? Just disappearance… at least without the presence of a witness who decides to bring into existence -through a symbol- something that is no longer: the ruin.
