Art Latinou presents Lo que queda cuando baja la marea by Rodrigo Palma.

The exhibition brings together a collection of images in which the photographic gesture is stretched into a single current. The pieces, both black and white and color, oscillate between the atmospheric and the intimate: skies that open up, mineral textures, bodies that fold like waves. Some images have been altered with paint, as if a will insisted on defining what the camera cannot capture; others incorporate plastic objects collected on the beach, fragments of a landscape that is also waste. The pieces contained in light boxes seem to maintain a frozen movement, as if the scene still held an internal tension, as if the landscape still breathed. In contrast, the pieces framed in wood look inward: views of the human body that expand the horizon toward ourselves, also a territory in the process of erosion.

–Luis Manuel Perea
