WOUNDED

Ink Jet Scanner and Print Recordon photographic paper.Diptych: 100×70 cm.

This diptych is inspired by a first part, the fear that we face people, in circumstances of which we have no control, such a scan be the illness of a loved one. But, in turn, by the force that people in the face of these adverse situations. All this has been tried to express, yielding our gaze to an electronic equipment,specifically a scanner, giving rise to a “non-retinal look”.Supported by this electronic gadget, we give you control so that the images pass from the vertical plane corresponding to the conventional with the human posture 1 to the horizontal plane.The machine receives the information in the horizontal plane by means of objects different, but what really moves us, is information that does not of the said object, that is to say the back part, since in being downwards, this information, form, resistance, enters the work in a more immediate way.

Pain is one of the most prolific subjects because the human being, artist or not, in some moment of his life has known of near by, pain.Through art, experiences can be expressed as an explanation of the pain, either in the first person or as the vehicle of others.In this particular case, it is used as an excuse to attempt to represent this annulment of the capacity, representing one of the most feared diseases as it is, Breast Cancer.So miso, we will try not to focus only, in the negative aspect of this disease, if not, that we also want to face it from the antagonism, that is, since the fight against it.It is true that pain as a form is anecdotal and from the formal perspective is not explained, it is only exemplified as a way of testimony, of remembrance.According to Thomas Jefferson (1743 to 1826), the third US president, he said “Art of life is the art of avoiding pain, “because life is full of beauty, but every day we try to avoid what causes us pain. These attempts at survival are transformed into artistic acts, when a painful situation is confronted and something is done to turn it into art 2.Thus, we try to represent the painful process, transforming it into a process of struggle and challenge, turning it into a metaphor as an active participant of the life.Soon, October will come, which is the month of cancer awareness.of the breast, the media would bombard us with their campaigns, thousands of stories and preventive campaigns, we will give you the likes of social networks, but we are really aware and we are truly sensitive to what we are reading or seeing?
