Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

Ashgabat is Turkmenistan capital, an old colony of the former Soviet Union until 1991 and is the 6th country in the world with most metro reserves. Since 2018 has overtaken North Korea in repression and isolation with a dictatorship that bans the freedom of the press.

Its current president since 2006 Gurbangulí Berdimujamédov is Sparmurat Niyazov successor, which was the former regional leader during the old Soviet Union regime and supported the rising against Michael Gorbachov and banned the comment party when they become independent.

Turkmenistan is locked from the outside world. Limited visas are provided to foreigners, internet, phone and TV restrictions applied and a press used only as the regime’s voice. For citizens, bans such as growing a beard for the under 40’s, to buy cigarettes, have a pet anuran such as a dog, Opera and ballet performances, are amongst some of the restrictions suffered. To these random bans and in a country “ decorated” with big portraits of the ostentatiously dressed dictator, a complement are the buildings. The president’s trend for the past few years has been to breathe all-time Guinness record, by building as many white marble buildings and even the biggest indoor Ferries wheel in the world.

Through this type of “totalitarian” architecture, by using exclusive materials, enhancing the gradndious and shinny, the constant use of gold, the message that wants to transmit its citizens and few visitors is clear: bow to the greatness of the kingdom.

He was born in Barcelona in 1984. Firstly He studied DOP until 2009 and He started to work in cinema and video. In 2015 he moved to Madrid, where he began to study photography in EFTI and LENS. His first project, called Re-form, had been exhibit in some festivals like Revela’t, Mirades or Pa-ta-ta. His pictures appeared in magazines like El País Semanal, XL Semanal, Ignant, GUP, Wired or the British Journal of Photography. In 2018 He was selected to Encontros da artistas novos recidency. Nowadays He combines personal projects with assignments related with architecture and design.
