David Delgado Ruiz

David Delgado Ruiz Madrid, 1975. Since I was a child, I remember thinking about the perception of time. I've always felt a disturbing curiosity about observing the movement that occurs in those periods that can seem eternal or, on the contrary, pass like a flash. It was this reflection that led me to discover in photography, the medium to create, through images, the story of the lived moment. I document contemporary reality, telling stories about how time and space generate a context for social relations between human beings and the hostile environment that surrounds them—the city understood as present, past, and future. The line I work on, "Intervened Reality," is where I develop the geometric symmetries between the different spaces I inhabit and investigate from emptiness and stillness, thereby creating a new fictional reality. Through photographic documentation of the landscape, I explore the limits of the imagination by integrating two or more images, using digital editing tools on analog photography. I propose a reflection on imaginary, but always possible, coinciding landscapes, dystopian open scenarios of tangible and probable futures for human beings in their quest to understand reality and the time through which we live. I look for images that can be perceived as "real", from the knowledge of their falsity, a critique of the times of fake news, post-photography and augmented reality, which will modify the way we perceive reality, time and space.

From that innocent child's question, I began to look at time, observe it, trying to discover why sometimes it seems so long and other times, however, it lasts an instant, if in reality both measure the same. I document contemporary reality, telling stories about how time and space generate a context in social relations between human beings and the hostile environment that surrounds them, the city understood as present, past and future. Intervened Reality is the line where I develop the geometric symmetries between the different spaces that I inhabit and investigate from emptiness and stillness. Leer menos
