UNIVERS D’IMATGES colleccions fotográfiques de L’ETNO. Curated by Pau Monteagudo.
Site-specific installation, 475x200x200 cm. Double-side printed photographs from the L’ETNO photographic archive and treated tempered glass.
This is my work as part of the intervention, in collaboration with Martínez Bellido, of the open room of the exhibition.
The proposal invites immersion in the metaphor of memory as a universe of images, where the trace of time and its manifestations constitute the raw material of the composition. The idea is to open the reflection to the fact that the memory of what we were is related to the materiality of the photographic elements that we preserve in the archives, also marked by degradation, selective forgetfulness, negligence or singular accents that cannot be ignored in reflection on what we are. Looking at the photographs from this new perspective represents an impulse to escape from their original container towards other spaces of meaning and a vindication of the photographic object as a document.
