360 degrees
Suffice it to start walking, indefinitely, to someday come back to the same place.
In 360º Rubén Ochoa has tried to go from one point to another, in a relation chain between objects, persons and places that will take him invariably to the place he started. With a quite playful thirst, he entrust himself to prove that chance also has an order, and that everything is subject to a simple relationships net that makes us common.
The exhibition has no begin. Like in an endless conversation, the themes –images here- open a possibility of a new image and the build together a memory that plays to a circle. Before it can be completely seen, the image makes a gesture that invites to see the next one. The object is no longer fundamental and becomes into a document of a simple exploration. Beyond of an aesthetic result, the emotiveness is the most valuable as a product of our encounter with something. And as in an endless talk, each new encounter, each new image is only another pretext to keep walking. To avoid conclusion.
In this round trip Rubén Ochoa goes with three cameras. With them he also proofs that any place, any object is worthy and feasible of being photographed. Rubén knows that photography can convert daily work into an event. That in front of a camera everything has the appearance of an spectacle, the common one, the intimate one, where histories take a new dimension, worthy of being admired, deserving an spectator. In this trip goes also the idea to understand photography as an extension of ourselves, or our eyes. Of our memory.
