«Este libro que nos ofrece el autor nos

conduce a un recorrido estético por la neo-

figuración con un gran detalle y abstraccion

de formas y colores, utilizando la fotografia

como huellas humanas y convirtiéndolas en

paisajes.»

“This book the author offers takes us on an aes-

thetic tour by the neofiguration with great detail

and abstraction of shapes and colors, using

photography as human fingerprints and turning

them into landscapes.”

Es imposible agradecer a todas las personas que de una

u otra forma influenciaron este proyecto, a quienes

falten en este listado les pido excusas.

A mi familia por ser mi universo completo, la razón y

el soporte que hace todo posible. Ser bipolar sería una

enfermedad y no una condición, una peculiaridad, si no

fuera por su amor y apoyo.

A Omaira, Zenaida y Heliumen por nutrirme y darme el

mayor regalo que cualquier profesor puede dar: curio-

sidad y la necesidad de siempre estar hambriento de

conocimiento y por recordarme que ser bueno no es

suficiente.

A Iván y Gina porque a pesar de la distancia nunca han

estado lejos y por creer en mi aun más que yo mismo.

A Jhon por acompañarme en mis búsquedas cuando na-

die más lo hace, a Jef por su constante apoyo, a Andrés

Felipe por ser quien es, a Ceci.

A Sebas.

A Iván, Santi, Tati, Gaga y Christian por enseñarme a

ver la fotografía con ojos inocentes. A los artistas que

con sus experiencias y búsquedas han abierto el camino

que yo he seguido dentro de mis intereses y límites.

It is impossible to thank to all the people who have

influenced this project in one or another way. I give

apologies to those I have not included here.

To my family because they are my whole universe, the

reason and support that makes everything possible for

me. To have bipolar disorder will be an illness instead of

a condition, a peculiarity, if I did not have their love and

support.

To Omaira, Zenaida and Heliumen for nurture me and

give me the greatest gift any teacher can give: curiosity

and the need to always be hungry for knowledge and

for reminding me that being good is not enough.

To Iván and Gina because despite the distance they

never have been far and have believed in me more than

myself.

To Jhon for be my partner in my quests when nobody

else wants to join me , to Jef for be my constant sup-

port, to Andrés Felipe because he is a great man, to Ceci.

To Sebas.

To Iván, Santi, Tati, Gaga y Christian for teach me how

to see the photography through innocent eyes. To the

artists who with their experiences and searching have

opened the pathway I’ve followed from my own inter-

ests and limits.

A papá, mamá, Nati y Bla.

A los que ya no están pero viven en el corazón.

A los que sin importar la distancia siempre están

presentes.

To dad, mom, Nati and Bla.

To those who are no longer with us but always live in

my heart.

To those who without matter the distance are always

present.

Este trabajo de grado, titulado Bipolar: entre analógico

y digital es un ejercicio visual planteado como una

reacción al mimetismo que se le ha atribuido al acto

fotográfico a la par de un reconocimiento personal de

la validez expresiva del esfuerzo experimental de las

vanguardias (en especial el surrealismo) en cuanto a la

expansión de los límites de la imagen fotográfica.

Es un ejercicio de exploración basado en la teoría de

la imagen. Soportado en los discursos de otros como

medio para encontrar uno propio, es el fruto del cono-

cimiento e inquietudes que se han ido acumulando a lo

largo de la carrera a partir de la interacción con profe-

sores y compañeros así como elementos históricos y

culturales.

Esta suma de caminos termina conduciéndome al

encuentro por primera vez de manera consciente con

los surrealistas, en especial con George Bataille y su

concepto de l’informe; concepto que el mismo Bataile se

negó a definir, complejo y de alguna forma indefinible,

pero apasionante por esas mismas razones.

This bachelor’s degree project called Bipolar: between

analogical and digital is an exercise proposed as a

reaction to the mimetic properties that has been at-

tributed to the photographic act on par with a personal

acknowledgment of the expressive validity of the

avant-garde experimental efforts (especially surrealist

ones) regarding the expansion of the boundaries of the

photographic image.

Is an exploration exercise based on visual theory, sup-

ported in speeches by others as a way to find my own

voice. It is the fruit of the knowledge and concerns

that have accumulated over the course of my studies,

from the interaction with teachers and peers as well as

historical and cultural elements.

All these roads eventually lead me to confront the

surrealists consciously for the first time, especially the

work of George Bataille and his concept of l’informe;

idea himself was reluctant to define, complex concept

and in a many ways indefinable, but exciting for the

same reasons.

metamorphosing machine. “

«La fotografía es un medio muy nuevo aun y todo

debe ser intentado ... la fotografía no tiene reglas.

No es un deporte. Es el resultado el que cuenta, no

importa cómo se hayaconseguido.»

“Photography is still a very new medium and every-

thing must be tried and dare... photography has no

rules. It is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no

matter how it is achieved.“

Bill Brandt
