Goðafoss Islandia. 2013. Limited edition 6 + 1 AP 133x100 cm. Photograph

Road 1 is a photo project I had shot at Iceland on Oct/Nov 2013 Oct/Nov 2014 . Iceland is one of the geological youngest countries in the planet and closest to the Arctic North Pole Circle, and a hostile territory during nearly all year round. Long and intense winters, the most active volcanoes on earth and a unpredictable weather makes the population density to be one of the lowest in the world, living 75% of the people in Reykjavik and its surroundings. I have done two photo trips around Iceland's Road 1. This main route which encircles the entire perimeter of the country is the one I have chosen to look for human activity in a hostile environment. I've made use of a photographic language that mimics the human eyesight of which about only 20% of it remains in focus, and kept within a linear optical setup as if the spectator was standing in the place of the lens. Utilizing a large format tecnical camera I underlined the contradiction between Iceland's awesome landscape and the chance of any human presence being there at the beginning of long and extreme winters in a territory where only few visitors venture to experience one of the last inhabitable frontiers. These two trips in solitary work, and in such adverse conditions have rewarded me with a profound understanding of the photographic milieu, and with the appreciation of man's capacity to struggle in his quest to survive in places of inhospitable climate conditions. Photography allows me create within the framework of real existence and conceive visual illusion in a concrete and predefined manner. Noviembre 2014
