Cathexis

A quasi positivist compilation of urban parks Catéxis es un ejercicio topológico, inscrito dentro de trabajos como los de los fotógrafos alemanes positivistas pero con un giro personal que tiene por función cumplir con un conjunto de aspiraciones estéticas y conceptuales. Temáticamente es un registro de parques bogotanos, no es una enciclopedia visual no los cubre todos ni ha tenido esa función, cubre la mayoría de los parques que rodean mi vida cotidiana, es una mirada a la ciudad -a mi ciudad- por medio de una de sus estructuras icónicas (el juego codificado, delimitado y normativizado). Como en todo ejercicio topológico la deontología pasa a un segundo lugar, aunque se tomó en cuenta durante el desarrollo del proyecto, lo que tiene relevancia visual inicial es la morfología así como los elementos que se repiten o están ausentes. Esto conforma un patrón de elementos que definen otros valores: diseño, materiales, colores, entre muchos. La selección del encuadre son primeros planos en los cuales procuro cubrir la mayor parte de la estructura central de juegos en cada parque. El giro se halla en el manejo tonal de las imágenes, a blanco y negro al esilo postivista pero resaltando contrastes y sombras, un esfuerzo por encontrar un lenguaje visual que me permita expresar los elementos personales subyacentes: memoria, nostalgia, posmodernidad. Cathexis is a typological exercise enrolled in works such as the positivist German photographers but with a personnel twist whose function is to comply with a set of aesthetic and conceptual aspirations. The theme is a compilation of parks in Bogotá, is not a visual encyclopedia, it doesn't cover all of them and never have tried to do it, it compiles most of the parks that surrounds my daily life, is a look to the city - to my city - employing some iconic structures (the game codified, with boundaries, under rules). As with any typological exercise, deontology takes second place, even when it have been taken in account during the development of the project; what initially matters for me is the morphology and the elements the repeats or are absent. The selection of the frame are close-ups in which I try to cover most of the central structure of games in each park. The twist is in the tonal treatment of the images, black and white in the positivist style but with emphasis in contrast further lights and shadows in an effort to find a visual language which will let me to express the underlaying personnel elements: memory, nostalgia, post modern.

The city and the night as a setting for an ever lasting battle.

As part of my bachelor's degree project I've produced a series of digital sabatiers sometimes melted with the scans of the talbotypes presented as an e-book and hopefully as a printed book. The other half of the project are a set of talbotypes experimenting with papers and the classic photographic technique using the male body as a landscape, is a metaphor of my own reflections about how gender roles and stereotypes are impossed on the surface of ourselves by society but if you look closer all that differences simply disappear and what is left behind is skin as a tool for human contact.

I'm playing with alternative process in photography. The whole idea is to loose myself in the search and to see what I can learn and use in other explorations.
