Buscando el atardecer = Looking for the sunset / ferranElOtro.
Summary:
This publication is the result of an investigation into the postulates of Modernism in the field of artistic photography. From a selection of images extracted from security cameras, which can be accessed remotely over the Internet, a tour of different cities of the planet is made following the rotational movement of the Earth, to capture the sunset, moment in which the sun crosses the plane of the horizon and passes from the visible hemisphere to the non-visible hemisphere. These images, of low resolution, dubious framing and unknown author, announce the exhaustion of the project of modernity. The resulting publication puts the history of the photographic medium to debate and does so by reappropriating existing manifestations but placing them in a new context that allow the author to decode the existing precepts postulated by the crisis of Postmodernity.
