GÓMEZ SELVA @gomezselva1 Project: Tora Tora Tora Covid-19 has been a heavy blow to the entire art circuit, and really to the entire planet. Before this state of global crisis, I was preparing some pieces for the Getxoarte 2020 exhibition, which has been cancelled due to the pandemic. However, I am still working hard on my Tora, Tora, Tora! Project, or as much as possible as I live in Madrid but my studio is in Bilbao. A few days ago my project was selected for the ERTIBIL BIZKAIA Visual Arts travelling exhibit, though currently the opening at the prestigious Sala Rekalde in Bilbao doesn’t have a date. I’ll leave you with a series of images from Tora, Tora, Tora!, my biggest project to date. To understand and assimilate the identity of a territory, all possible dimensions, such as social, cultural, political, territorial, economic or religious must be taken into account. There are countless factors from which to work and research a territory; factors that inevitably turn us into "intruders" when using certain identity values. The concept of landscape is linked to the territory and forms part of its identity, but is also an aesthetic and formal result of certain conflicts, legacies, and can be even considered as a mark of what a territory has once been, and of what it now is. The objective of the research behind this project is to reach an intermediate point between the study of a landscape for its symbolic and ideological value, and it's formal value. The relationship between one's identity and another's legacy does not have to be synonymous with cultural or social intrusiveness, but this process of questioning and fragmenting conflicts of others allows the resignification and creation of multiple conceptions of the same landscape, even working from a point of ambiguity, uncertainty and the mutability of images. #gomezselva #getxoarte #ertibil #photography (en Sala Rekalde) https://www.instagram.com/p/CACoJ5nFqrZ/?igshid=5abz4387ks11
