Collective Exhibition Perspectives

​

As Siri Hustvedt says, “every human being alive, thinks and watches”, and although nothing is absolute, we can almost assure that one category transfers the other reciprocally; thought leads to gaze and gaze leads to thought and this phenomenon is filtered through a panorama, that is, a perspective, derived from the Latin perspicere 'to look attentively or through something'.

 

Thus, the students of 'Photography and Concept' of the Plastic Arts Program of the UIS carry out an exercise of looking at the world through the camera's eye from very personal points of view in search of diversifying our perception and understanding of the context, showing it with new senses, in the same way that John Berger affirms it 'the artist's eye tells us about the hidden meaning in the daily gaze with which we contemplate landscapes, animals or loved ones'.

 

Each photograph based on its theme and compositional structure should be considered an essay –from French essayer- that is, trying stories and arguments about human fragility, memory, space, experiences, gestures, conflicts, everyday life, traditions, time, in short, are very own thoughts of the author permeated by his way of feeling, understanding and interacting embodied in an artistic proposal.
