ENG

Sense títol (Bipolar) is a double projection of B/W negatives projected as slides. Each of the projections shows a complete circular path. The first is a series (successesion) of words that are linked to each other by a subjective operation of a semantic association. The first words of the sequence refer to the work of art itself and to its fragments. The last words refer to the individual and his voice. The second one is a sequence of landscape images that show us “step by step” the trip on a long path that leads into the forest. The irregularity of the terrain is reflected strongly into the viewer´s eyes through the power of the beautiful images on the negative – ghostly like, that transport him to a place both silent and hyperactive. S/t (bipolar) gives contrast to two models of language – in short, of representation and reading  - that are in charge of political and estetical signification, sufficiently extended to force us to draw a different conclusion with the exercise of each reading.
