CONDEMNATION

Concept: The text of the poster is an excerpt from the novel Crime and Punishment. In which the metaphysical-religious background that nourishes this work is revealed. This “divine-human” nucleus highlights in Dostoevsky’s novels the existence of a real portico that in every man gives access to his original and mysterious unity through the long way of the human, the suffering that strips man of the material ballast and guides him on a path of detachment towards himself.

Haptic

The hand – is the first writing tool. History is recorded there, it is the trace of the personal journey. In it, words are articulated that form a rhizomatic cartography, without a particular center. The texts have to do directly with experience, subjectivity, with the creation process from analog to digital

Album of affections

The business card, visiting card or carte de visite, has been a memory object. Many of them preserved in another object, the album. This project takes up the essence of these two objects, as containers of memories, in this case of my affections, reflected in some people
nearby, other passengers, passers-by, who become part of the space; natural elements and the architecture of oblivion.The cover takes up the idea of a frame. one frame over another

&

Several elements intervene in the subjectivity of language, it is not born spontaneously from the subject,
It is mediated by society, by culture, by biological aspects, by the mass media. It is there where the rhetoric using resources discursive and metaphorical, persuades and takes special force. Always the messages are endowed with signs that connote and denote the linguistic message it can also be iconic and endowed with countless meanings. In reading, the perceptive message -cultural- and the literal message -message support-. This book could fit into many of the typologies of an artist’s book, it is writing, accumulation, tactile… It is also a book under construction.

&c.

Entering the book, devoid of its format, being able to feel it and explore its possibilities in an exponential way, smell it, hear it. Open book, complete, without content and order restrictions, to read in as many ways as you like. Paper, the base material, a sensitive substrate, which allows the contents printed on it to be endowed with meaning. Papers arranged in two ways, eighty-eight hanging, imply looking towards. On the floor, shredded paper, documents are recycled,drafts, sketches, processes. The numbering of the pages is detached from above, hangs, and is placed interchangeably. Letters as plastic support

Technorealism

With each passing day, computer systems are becoming increasingly organic and integrated seamlessly into our lives and the natural world. These machines, which were once seen as cold and rational, are now capable of imitating touch, emotions, and thought. Despite being made of inanimate matter, they are capable of imagining worlds that seem just as real as ours.
I went on a mission to create a typeface, bold yet whimsical, playful yet structured. created only in a digital space. The vector files are put through a custom CAD process, rendering them in an organic skeleton and metallic material. An imitation of reality made visible through computer envisioned light ray bounces.
