Fotografío gente que fotografía ARTE! (2007)

Concept
Since its inception, photography has assumed the epistemological status of ‘mirror of reality’, or rather of ‘register of the real’ against the old pictorial forms. But at the same time, the development of current technologies has affected two of its fundamental characteristics: be reproducible and be manipulable. The reality presented, represented, is not closed a single reality, but it depends on who takes the picture, we could talk about subjective, poetic, fictitious, artificial, and even distorted realities.

While the object of art lost its unmistakable aura and was socialized in museums and international exhibitions. But the need to ‘own’ the object has produced legions of fans with a camera recorded his memory, his presence, his essence of the impossibility of having the work itself.

Project
 The pictures do not have a precise format or size. They are set out in my space: http://www.flickr.com/photos/riglesias00.
Each unit can be reproduced more than 10 times in any combination and quality with the rest of individually.
