THE ORIGINAL WATER AND EARTH, 2007

Ramón Casanova, Jorge Egea, Mapi Rivera

The project “The original water and earth. The sustainability of the image” is the result of the 2007 North Creation Grant. It collects the joint work of three creators who develop their personal poetics in the fields of creative action, modeling and photography. On this occasion, these three trajectories come together in a unique project that reflects on the generation of form and image from its foundations. The project starts from the water and the earth as primordial elements and from light as the creative energy that animates them.

Con el fin de poder llevar a cabo esta reflexión plástica sus vías poéticas se entrelazan creando una simbiosis por la cual cada uno de ellos profundiza en lo más esencial de su vía creativa. El arte como vía inteligente de transformación, hermana tres actitudes aparentemente disociadas, pero íntimamente ligadas en lo fundamental. El cuerpo –bios-, clay modeling –plastikos– and photography –photos– are the media (vehicles) that interact and support the creation of the luminous image. The body collects the light, the camera, in turn, collects the light that it reflects, and the energy on the clay models it "in its image and likeness."
