Three careers and three very different pathways by three artists who work with exactly the same distance: short distance.
Emotional proximity and optical proximity. Everything is very close, we feel the characters breathing, the artists seize us by the throat and make us sniff their world.

 

The coordinates are as follows: 41º 37’ 998” (N) 2º 16’ 5,036” (O).
Year 2011 A.D.
Situate yourself, this is the context: crisis.
Get comfortable, don’t be alarmed, look behind. And now, look ahead.
It seems like everything has to blow, at any moment, tense calm.
Ugh. You feel a WEIGHT in your hands.
That roots you, that ties you to the ground, that connects you.
Look at the WEIGHT. It is like a tectonic plate, an invisible structure that floats beneath our feet, that draws near, watches and heals fractures and wounds of all kinds through the catalyst that is photography.

41º 37’ 998” (N) 2º 16’ 5,036” (O) is a specific site. In Barcelona.
We are here. We work from here, we look from here and here is where you need to look to see us. The force of the WEIGHT makes you put your feet on the ground, situating you in a specific place. The WEIGHT is local and makes you local, as you look at us.
