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.

I´m fascinated that within the most ordinary and trivial expressions of reality, a territory of the vernacular and the mundane, that I come to witness the most extraordinary events.

Fissures in the world of appearances reveal an altered landscape in which things are not what they seem to be.

The visible world becomes a scenography. The landscape and the public space are seen as the decor of a theater stage, objects as props, the people as performers unaware of their own roles. Here the absurd, the tragic and the comic co-exist in a new reality perceived as a flow of unscripted events. The artificial is disguised as the real and the real is disguised in the artificial.

With this series I tried to produce imagery that lays in that ambiguity.  Ambiguity as a silent vehicle leading perception toward a multiple range of interpretations.

Costa Tropical is the result of an erratic exploration of that region in south Spain through its midday, when almost all human activity is temporally suspended and the streets are left empty and silent.

I live and work between Granada and Norway. My work is based on the direct exploration of reality and encoded in a documentary-based language through various disciplines such as cinema, performing arts and photography. The use of a documentary style becomes in itself a strategy that reveals fissures in perception and challenges the boundaries between fiction and reality. I try to create reality-based imagery that offers the viewer a space on which to project his own interpretations.

After graduating in Fine Arts in Granada, I moved to Brussels from 2001 to 2014, where I earned a Master’s Degree in Documentary Filmmaking. Together with Hedvig Biong and Niko Hafkenscheid, I founded “Kevin or Harry”, a performing arts collective that creates theatre pieces where real people take the stage. Since 2018, I collaborate  with Pablo López on projects revolving around photography and territory (“Pangnirtung”).  In Granada, Hedvig Biong and myself run “El Laboratorio”, a wet plate studio and invitation-based artist residency.
