Loving Earth - PBF01 / Ignacio Goitia
18 November 2016 - 18 January 2017
“Time, like pure nature, always ignores trends from different moments in history or different artistic movements.”
Ignacio Goitia, better known for his pictorial works where contemporary characters take over major historical architectures, has always felt very close to photography as an alternative way to show his very particular views on reality. A reality that, in the case of the Loving Basque Country photo series, praises the beauty of the mountainous landscape in this region of northern Spain, in the presence of a man who seems to be oblivious to time. This man, who is the artist himself, gazes at greatness from ridges and local forests, reecting on an environment that follows its life cycle, unaware of the hand of man.
