Asiento de mar. 2003
(A Seat in the Sea)
We move through the indefiniteness of reality, with the certainty that everything could be different and the uncertainty as to whether what we deem real is perhaps not real at all. With this way of feeling everything that could define us, everything to which at other times we could resort in order to cling to the certainty of knowing who we are, vanishes. Genres, signs of identity, the appearance of our environment, impossible landscapes that man builds with his advanced technology and the wretchedness of superdevelopment.
Concha Pérez constructs nonexistent but possible spaces. With computing techniques applied to photography, virtually all is possible and the doubt over what's real and what's imaginary becomes a shadow covering any dreamed up sun. Cybernetic places that are familiar to us, living rooms in the middle of the street, the sea as a populated place, isolated chairs in a quarry... uncertain places to which man's presence gives certain logic, making them look as something possible though we're not sure to have been there. Places we thought we saw in a movie, perhaps in a dream, yet they work in our unconscious mind as preambles of future landscapes.
