Reconstructive is a photographic series that has as starting point an exercise of consciousness. Although
many would assume it as a sample of abstract photography, I might not necessarily agree with that.
Obviously, I capture a set of planes, volumes, tones, but
there is still an obvious connection with certain elements of reality.
I try to stay away from immersing myself in a full abstract panorama, because
I take advantage of the subtleties of reality that emerge in these photos to
establish a re-constructive exercise in the public that approaches and
interpret my own constructions.
It is a project that also draws on the experiences of the Russian avant-garde, especially the assumptions defended by Rayonism, Suprematism and Constructivism. From this last movement, Alexandr
Rodchenko constitutes my aesthetic precedent by preference. For instance, I take as a common factor the inclination towards maximum synthesis of the works.
Specifically, constructivism nurtures the fascination
by machine, by technique, by interaction with architecture,
a question that marked the selection of objects and elements that I have
photographed for this series. From the national context, I assume as a
essential antecedent the photographic work of José Manuel Acosta,
especially for being the one who paid the most attention to avant-garde transgressions on the grounds of the demonstration, and the one who best
assumed in the Island.We want you to be 100% satisfied, however we understand that sometimes things do not fit like you had intended or that it may not look exactly like what you were envisioning.
