Walking project
Walk, getting lost and found
I propose a reflection on everything that happens when walking.
For thousands of years, in addition to physical movement, walking has been associated with the search for meaning, thinking and creation, organizing ideas, memory, connecting us to our roots, and to what surrounds us.
We usually do it to distract ourselves or to find answers.
In art, it is part of the process of several artists and movements such as: Dadá, Surrealism or Land art and others.
For me, it’s connected to the search for meaning, freedom, the power to choose, fruition and contact with everyone and everything around me.
At the beginning is the need to go, to go out and expose myself to the unforeseen, to discover something new and to decide, like a free page, a story, to happen at every moment, in every place, at every meeting, resulting in an enormous pleasure of fulfillment and peace.
Always unique, it tell a story of that singular day, of those people, in that place.
When I make known these representations, until then only mine, each one appropriates them and builds their own story, by sharing it, it changes infinitely.
Pieces
An image composed of several elements, from a journey, accompanied by a narrative.
A succession of images from a journey, and it´s narrative. Presented in panorama or book (format Japanese fold)
Cyanotype Portable Camera
To accomplish this project I invented a Portable Camera, I need it to create images along my journeys, developed right there and continue the project.
The objective is to register a journey, a succession of images in one.
This cyanotype camera works with an already sensitive strip / roll of paper, which is pulled out and exposed to the sun. The development is done right there, with a water bottle or in a puddle, in a lake, in the sea…
This camera also interests me as an object. Fulfills important concepts for me such as up-cycle, recycling, low impact on the environment.
It is part of a long-standing project, which I call Design for the People.
I have developed several different cameras, with the same idea of making instant and portable cyanotypes.
