The photographs in the book Totems are born from observing nature and finding in it elements such as rocks, trees, roots ... that we associate with faces, characters, creatures ... pictures that are the result of the encounter with these beings that inhabit nature and that observe us without being entirely visible. Beings that when photographed or represented, become totems that reflect the powers of nature and remind us of our connection to it.
The Museu Blau, Natural Science Museum of Barcelona, has made these photographs visible on display with this exposition and with your sponsorship these characters will become visible in book format in an edition with 500 copies.
The photographs remind you of African or oriental primitive masks, or lead us to explore the artistic vanguards: pointillism, expressionism, constructivism, cubism, etc. We can also see characters of fantasy literature -H.P. Lovecraft, for example, science fiction monsters-the Alien created by H. R. Giger-, human apes from The Planet of the Apes, etc.
Or they can be as poetic as a visual haiku, mandalas or rosettes. Or transport us to baroque architecture, Oriental cultures or the world of Gaudí and Modernist architecture, organic architecture and / or fantasy architecture...
Reproduced in the book there are 41 photographs, you can see some on my website: www.guillemvidal.com
