Piedra-Padre Universo by Clara de Tezanos/ Edited by Alejandro Cartagena. Edition of 200. Published by Clara de Tezanos
“Piedra Padre Universo is a mystic visual journey that touches on concepts about family heritage and memory. Clara de Tezanos approaches her family’s story not with a linear narrative, but combining family photographs, objects, patterns and nature, creating visually coded layers to the viewer to interpret freely. The book design is as organic as the delivery of her images. The edit is dynamic and unpredictable, always keeping us in awe.” –Veronica Sanchis (Curadora FotoFeminas)
“It´s something that you can really turn yourself over to the visual experience of, which is pretty engrossing, and feels fresh and distinctive, and like something I hadn´t seen before.” –Kristen Lubben Executive Director of Magnum Foundation
La obra Piedra-Padre, Universo viaja en su narrativa a través de un movimiento poligonal entre la figura de un padre, la infancia incrustada, el peso de los antepasados y el asombro hacia este universo, en su inmensidad. La sensación que nos emula la yuxtaposición de imágenes en ritmo de expansión y restricción nos lleva hacia las coordenadas de un mapa oculto, hacia constelaciones familiares entretejidas como fuente de un drama existencial.
