Guillem Ramos-Poquí "...Another Country" - Revisited Histories and Identities Digital Photomontages 2000 The concern with identity and how one culture views another are among the presiding themes or leitmotifs of today’s postmodernist perspective. These digital images by Guillem Ramos-Poquí mark a move to what maybe fairly be described as “dreamscapes” and meditations on the relationships of past and present, “other”, and self. Evocative analogies again between one form or experience and another are used to cast the mind on our origins in other distant cultures and traditions, which carry their resonances forward into our present and future. It has been said “the past is another country”, and maybe the present is no different to the unreceptive mind and sensibility. These images, with their subtle and sensuous gradations of colour and form, defamiliarise or make strange the identities around us we take for granted. By conjuring links with past myths and alien histories they endow us with another eye, another vision – one that chimes with the values of our multicultural and cosmopolitan world. David Rodway London 2000 _____________________ Guillem Ramos-Poquí " Otro País" - Historias e identidades revisitadas Fotomontajes digitales 2000 La
preocupación por la identidad, y sobre como una cultura opina
de otra, es uno de los temas y expedientes de la perspectiva posmodernista
actual. Estas imágenes digitales de Guillem Ramos-Poquí
marcan un rumbo hacia lo que se podría describir como "paisajes
de ensueño" y meditaciones sobre las relaciones entre el
pasado y el presente, "el otro", y la identidad personal. David Rodway, Londres 2000 |
