Jon Gorospe - From Magnete
Artist Biography: Jon Gorospe (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1986) focuses on the representation of the anthropized landscape, developing several bodies of work at present. As one of the authors of the new wave of European photography, Jon Gorospe has been recognized by several public and private institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum (USA and Spain), Sasakawa Foundation (Scandinavia and Japan), Futures Photography (European Culture Program) and the Ankaria Foundation (Spain). Jon combines his artistic creation processes with the study and understanding of the image from a theoretical point of view, collaborating in different projects as a photo-editor, curating festivals and exhibitions and participating in debates and publications.
In De Magnete, Jon Gorospe explores the symbolic and transcendental tradition of landscape to bring it up to date and to speak from that angle. Not only is landscape present in his images as a subject, but also - and above all - as an embracing space that refers constantly to vastness: the vastness of what is huge and the vastness of our inner self. The inner reality that Gorospe aims at and which he unfolds in this series is at once enigmatic and tumultuous. He has used a particular idea of the sacred on more than one occasion in order to refer to it, this being the assembly of beauty and terror (Rilke) or of beauty and its revelations (the epiphanies it provokes). In order to do this, Gorospe turns to a series of black and white landscapes alternating several color photographs in which the only thing we can distinguish are transitions between colors. These gradients have a twofold function. On one hand, just like a map's legend, they are the key to the series: they provide us with the coordinates that guide its interpretation. On the other hand, they also represent something ethereal and formless, a beyond, a behind. Another element with a strategic role is present in the landscape images: scale, or rather the absence of it, also understood as its dissolution from the perspective of fractal geometry. That which is big and that which is small are intertwined and indistinct but equally vertigi- nous, equally out of reach.
