He depicted a modest country man riding an elephant over the hazardous obstacles of Communism. The American Democratic Party later adopted the elephant as its emblem, as they felt it represented their political tone of voice and values. From this model, Logotypes is an investigation into symbols and the construction of meaning in contemporary political discourse. The series is structured into eight allegorical portraits. Logotypes requires the active participation of the viewer in order to complete the meaning of each symbol. But the series also attempts to examine the tensions between symbology, mythology, politics and society through logos, emblems, colours, and analogies. In this way, we may look at Democracy as the power of the populist imagination, turning the everyday into a spiritual experience. And some of you might wonder - what the heck is an elephant doing in Ohio? <img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/mariano copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/mariano copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164676" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/barack copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/barack copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164681" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/wen copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/wen copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164690" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/james copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/james copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164695" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/silvio copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/silvio copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164701" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/vladimir copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/vladimir copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164710" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/nicolas copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/nicolas copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164721" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/angela copy.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="1134" height_o="1134" src_o="http://payload69.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/3690972/angela copy_o.jpg" data-mid="19164725" border="0" align="left"/> On November 7th 1874, the North American cartoonist Thomas Nast published an infamous illustration in Harpers Weekly.

El convento se fundó en el año de la conquista de la Ciudad por Fernando III y está parcialmente abandonado desde los años 90. Santa Clara es un documental, pero también una llamada de atención sobre las condiciones del patrimonio histórico español a las puertas del siglo XXI. El estudio espacial fotográfico usa la fotografia de 35mm como una aproximación espontánea y curiosa al laberíntico complejo. —— The project documents the devastating effects of time and neglect at Convento de Santa Clara, founded in the year of the conquest of Seville by King Fernando III and partially abandoned since the 1990s. Santa Clara is not only an document but a call of attention on the conditions of Spanish historic and architectural heritage in the XXIth Century. These photographic spacial studies use 35mm photography as a spontaneous method for a naive exploration of the maze-like vaults of the Convent in its current estate. <img

Instinctively, when he awakes, he looks to these, and in an instant reads off his own position on the earth’s surface and the amount of time that has elapsed during his slumbers; but this ordered procession is apt to grow confused, and to break its ranks.' — Swann´s Way by Marcel Proust Leftovers are small confrontations of youth against caducity, still lives of lost time or found time, aesthetic explorations of natural lighting and composition with the aim of extracting beauty from what remains. Leftovers is a project under development to be completed and shown at The Leftover Show in London, next November 2011. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Mandibula02.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="980" height_o="653" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Mandibula02_o.jpg" data-mid="10586112" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Gafas.jpg" width="670" height="488" width_o="2048" height_o="1494" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Gafas_o.jpg" data-mid="10586174" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Mandibula.jpg" width="670" height="483" width_o="2048" height_o="1477" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Mandibula_o.jpg" data-mid="10586280" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Granadas01.jpg" width="670" height="540" width_o="686" height_o="553" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/134071/2123084/Granadas01_o.jpg" data-mid="10586480" border="0" align="left"/> 'When a man is asleep, he has in a circle round him the chain of the hours, the sequence of the years, the order of the heavenly host.
