Description

Jonathan Hernaacute;ndez nos presenta una coleccioacute;n de imaacute;genes sobre uno de los productos maacute;s abundantes de la era de las masas: el papel impreso. El mundo contemporaacute;neo seriacute;a incomprensible sin esa sutil revolucioacute;n del papel que dio palabras a las masas. Sin embargo; pese a esta milenaria vocacioacute;n protagoacute;nica; el papel impreso va cediendo su lugar; en nuestros diacute;as; a los medios electroacute;nicos; maacute;s veloces e intangibles. Cada imagen que nos presenta es una reproduccioacute;n digital de otra imagen alguna vez impresa en papel. Su trama; discontinua y fragmentada; nos conduce desde el terreno maacute;s crudamente material; hasta el espacio intangible del deseo.----------------------------------------------------Jonathan Hernaacute;ndez presents a collection of images of one of the most abundant products of the era of masses: printed paper. The contemporary world would be incomprehensible without this subtle paper revolution that gave words to the masses. However; in spite of this thousand year-old protagonist role; printed paper is currently relinquishing its place to the faster and intangible electronic media. Each image that Jonathan Hernaacute;ndez presents us with is a digital reproduction of an image once printed on paper. And each one of these shows one of the social uses of paper. Its plot; discontinuous and fragmented; takes us from the most crudely material realm to the intangible space of desire. And all this from the conscious paradox of a work that will never be embodied on paper.
