ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Altazor # 2 is a digital photograph belonging to the series of the same name, made during the years 2005 to 2014. Altazor is a book by the Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948) Altazor is the protagonist of his book, who makes a long trip by parachute from zenith to nadir. The photographs I have made inspired by Altazor try to represent in images the essence of the verses of the poet. They are photographs made from insignificant elements: fallen leaves of a pine tree, soil stones or cables found among garbage. The printing is made with the best materials: Hahnemuhle paper and Epson UK3 inks that guarantee its conservation and permanence in any situation.Museum quality An edition of 10 copies has been made, signed and numbered.

The transformation and evolution of nature are central themes in my work. The observation of a natural space and its subsequent transformation produces new emotions and new perspectives. My most recent work raises future natural spaces, based on observation and two central axes: the transformation of nature by human action and the evolution of climatic phenomena. Starting from decontextualized photographic images, I propose the vision of landscapes where, fictionally, new technologies partially replace the real world. In the same way that nature is continuously transformed by elements contributed by man, in my images I introduce elements that alter landscapes, in order to create representations of new -future- natural spaces. The elements that I use are usually other photographs, as a collage, and compact digital masses of color, which work as a contribution to the landscape, and that decontextualize the original image. The use of these abstract and non-photographic masses of digital color makes the images have a new meaning, and require a new reading and identification on the part of the viewer. I like to break the limits of photography and create images that conceptualize abstraction and digital media as part of the natural landscape. These works invite the viewer to identify them with familiar climatic phenomena and landscapes: cloudy skies, the beach, a storm, mountains, a swimming pool, fire, winter, etc. In this way, I want the viewer to react to an invented natural space, and this remains in his memory as a place he has already visited. and/or
