Custom idea. Custom size/proportion.
I call the process Image-Specific-Framing . . . because the framing elements (including the inner border) are drawn from the original image, the subject's background locale. Assembly from that source promotes a natural, interactive coordination of color and tone. With hundreds of design variation possibilities. Such assembly is an impossible feat for a frame shop. Or, for that matter, for any generic, digital framing program.
So. You may comment on the casually-shot, casual portrait if that's what is prominent for you. But it is really the image-to-frame partnership, the special presentation, that is on display here. I make the case that involved, interactive framing can be more individually unique than conventional framing. And therefore, more personal.
This tailored stylizing is meant to be presented as a custom-sized print mounted with either beveled glass or standard non-glare glass. Assembly is with a clip kit. There you have it. Image-Specific-Framing.
The subject is intentionally not retouched or photoshop-manipulated in any way. Image was shot with a simple, unsophisticated digital camera. I am not about technically-fixed, "perfect" portraiture. My story is about applying these new Image-Specific-Framing techniques to my casual portraits. Also, part of that story is in showing others how I might evolve their own sometimes-less-than-professional casual portrait shots into personal gems.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.

View at Felix Gonzalez-Torres "Specific Objects without Specific Form" retrospective at Wiels, february 2010.
WIELS premieres a major traveling retrospective of Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ oeuvre, including both rarely seen and more known artworks, while proposing an experimental form for the exhibition that is indebted to the artist’s own radical conception of the artwork.
Gonzalez-Torres (American, b. Cuba 1957-1996), one of the most influential artists of his generation, settled in New York in the early 1980s, where he studied art and began his practice as an artist before his untimely death of AIDS related complications. His work can be seen in critical relationship to Conceptual art and Minimalism, mixing political activism, emotional affect, and deep formal concerns in a wide range of media, including drawings, sculpture, and public billboards*, often using ordinary objects as a starting point—clocks, mirrors, light fixtures. Amongst his most famous artworks are his piles of candy and paper stacks from which viewers are allowed to take away a piece. They are premised, like so much of what he did, on instability and potential for change: artworks without an already preset or specific form. The result is a profoundly human body of work, intimate and vulnerable even as it destabilizes so many seemingly unshakable certainties (the artwork as fixed, the exhibition as a place to look but not touch, the author as the ultimate form-giver).
To present the oeuvre of an artist who put fragility, the passage of time, and the questioning of authority at the center of his artworks, the exhibition will be entirely re-installed at each of its venues halfway through its duration by a different invited artist whose practice has been informed by Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ work. A first version of Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Specific Objects without Specific Form by curator Elena Filipovic will open to the public and on March 5, 2010, the artist Danh Vo will re-install the exhibition, effectively making an entirely new show.

In the 19th century, specific buildings for entertainment appeared in many cities, including stone circuses. Ghent also joined this international trend. In 1894, the so-called "Nieuw Cirkus" was built, designed by architect Emile De Weerdt .and was eventually inaugurated as a stone circus, where numerous companies gave performances, also during the winter.
Shortly after World War II, the Winter Circus was transformed into Ghislain Mahy's garage. In this transformation, the entire circus interior was lost. In its place came a completely new concrete structure with an elaborate system of ramps that allowed cars to drive all the way to the top. In 1978, the garage closed its doors and the building continued to serve as a depot for vintage cars for two more decades. After that, the building stood virtually empty.
n order of the City, sogent purchased the historically valuable building in 2005 with the intention of renovating and repurposing it with respect for its rich heritage value.

A further tour to Fourvière, Lyon, France for a specific visit of l'Antiquaille on October 20, 2022. I did also a new Kodak Tri-X film with my Zorki-4K camera and its Jupiter-8 1:2 f=50 mm normal lens.
The Zorki was loaded with the Kodak Tri-X (TX) exposed for 400 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadows. After exposure the film was processed at 20°C using Tetenal Ultrafin developer at dilution 1+10 for 9min.

France
After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
After several films, and the range finder adjusted, I found the Zorki-4K very pleasant to use. The camera is clearly very reliable and the film smoothly advanced and rewound. I equipped the lens with a FOCA UV-protection filter (Made in France) and the hood of my Focaflex. All views are presented either framed or full-size.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)

One very, very specific thing made me want to go back and rewatch all of The Newsroom on HBO. Stephen Amell. That dude from Arrow, in case you don't know. He was talking about Aaron Sorkin in a Facebook Q&A and basically said he liked the show. It made me reexamine my thoughts and feelings on it and I re-watched all 3 seasons (25 episodes). And because of the news climate we live in today, I am sad to see it go. Because now, having watched The Newsroom, I think I get what it was actually trying to do.
When it first aired, I watched it along with everyone else. I loved The Social Network and I thought the idea of Sorkin dialogue being placed on the HBO framework for several hour long episodes would be utterly fantastic. And I loved the show at first. I loved the 1st and 2nd episode of season 1, then things got a bit shaky for me. Admittedly, I had the same complaints a lot of other people had. "Ah, you're just using hindsight to your advantage and cheating!" And now, while I don't completely disagree with that, I get what the show was really ultimately doing. It was showing us simply how things should be. That's all. Not showing off, but, re-doing certain things and certain events that occurred during the last few years. Sorkin says he chose to do the show like this because he wanted the audience to know more than the characters do. Which is fine, but for me, the show has meant more because it is frankly redoing so many instances of bad journalism. The 1st season of The Newsroom was particularly cheesy and overly sentimental...there was a bit too much of that going on.
And some of the biggest problems of the 1st season lie with the characters. Jim, Don, Maggie, Mack - it's almost like the st season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - only because I was recently watching both seasons of that show. But I was not at all feeling the romances here. Don and Maggie, Maggie and Jim, Jim and whatsherface, Will and Mack - all horrifyingly cheesy and shlocky. These people just kept making dumb decisions and getting mad about nothing, things that they could easily fix, it drove me insane, no one communicates. Once we got passed all of this, and into the 2nd season, this is where we finally got some character flaws and complexities. For example, with Maggie. Throwing her into the situation she was placed in was such a smart, necessary move and ultimately resulted in her being one of the characters who was one of the most emotionally satisfying to watch grow and evolve. There was some criticism of sexism and that Sorkin does not know how to write for women (which is sadly true for the 1st season), but the writing does get better in the 2nd and 3rd. Mackenzie with her weird characterizations, swooning over Will and overreacting at the women he casually went out on dates with. Yuck. Terrible. Hated it.
I was glad to see that most of that nonsense was gone in the 2nd season, or at least seriously toned down. Things got much more complicated and, satisfying on an artist level. Things weren't so black and white. Seeing Jim go on that campaign trail and report from the Mitt Romney bus was excellent. And equally frustrating with how those assholes acted. See, this is where I don't buy what Sorkin says. There is A LOT of conservative bashing on this show, gloriously so. And a lot of the time, it feels like the writers taking some of those old news stories and doing them in a more dignified way, emulating a desire to have our real life media be how this fictional media news channel is. Right now, with #blacklivesmatter, and how the media is horribly mishandling coverage of tragic events that went on in Ferguson and in Baltimore...it makes me wish the show was still on the air.
Thanks, Stephen Amell. smj12.com/the-newsroom/

Matadero Madrid presenta Visita guiada, una intervención site specific que ha realizado Elena Alonso (Madrid, 1981) para el programa Abierto x Obras, que tiene lugar en la antigua cámara frigorífica del que fue el matadero de Legazpi. La propuesta de la artista parte de la idea de encontrarnos en una cámara aislada, donde no existe apenas comunicación entre el interior y el exterior, y del concepto de conservación, que ha estado ligado a este espacio a lo largo de su historia.
Tras sucesivas visitas a la nave, la artista comenzó a fijarse en toda la información visual que había quedado plasmada en paredes y techos. Lo que más llamó su atención fueron una serie de agujeros repartidos por la cubierta de las naves laterales, clausurados en la última reforma.
La intervención propone un recorrido por la nave utilizando como guía un pasamanos. Una línea trazada en el plano como un dibujo, que en esta ocasión toma forma escultórica. Su elaboración con distintos materiales, como madera, cemento, corcho, escayola pintada o cobre, pone de manifiesto el interés de la artista por la artesanía y el diseño, y ofrecen al visitante el deleite a la vista y al tacto de los materiales trabajados.
En la penumbra de la nave encontramos esta particular guía que nos lleva a descubrir una nueva perspectiva del espacio. Los agujeros han sido reabiertos, por ellos entra la luz y se vislumbra otra galería superior, antes oculta a la mirada del visitante.
En esta intervención artística hallamos un juego de contrastes, de impedimentos y de posibilidades. En cierta manera, recuerda a las cuevas visitables donde el recorrido nos va mostrando la particular geomorfología que conserva en su ambiente antes estático. En este caso, la cuidada elaboración del pasamanos contrasta con la brutalidad del espacio.
El pasamanos es a su vez una guía y una barrera, una línea que sortea y adorna la arquitectura de la nave. Una pieza que podemos ver y tocar, y que nos lleva a descubrir un lugar inesperado sobre nuestras cabezas, pero que solo podemos llegar a entrever desde la distancia.
Elena Alonso (Madrid, 1981) Licenciada en Bellas Artes y Máster en Arte, Creación e Investigación por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, ha realizado también estudios en Suecia y Helsinki. Desarrolla su trabajo principalmente mediante el dibujo, relacionándolo con otras disciplinas como la arquitectura, la artesanía o el diseño, y prestando especial atención a las problemáticas vinculadas a la afectividad con el entorno. Ha expuesto de forma individual en el Museo ABC (El espacio alrededor, 2016); Espacio Valverde (Canto Blando, 2016; Composición de lugar, 2014; La tapadera, 2012); en la Sala de Arte Joven de la Comunidad de Madrid (2011); y en la Cable Factory de Helsinki (Paredes de piel, 2007).
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que invita a artistas a realizar una pieza de nueva producción incentivando el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Una sala de más de 800 metros cuadrados que todavía conserva su aspecto original y las huellas de un incendio sucedido en los años 90. Un espacio característico por su estructura diáfana de arcos volados y columnas. Desde 2007, Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, Eugenio Ampudia o Darya von Berner, entre otros.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.
This specific Christmas Tree is special but not because of decoration or presentation but as a symbol of being unbreakable. Even in this hard time a small tree reminds that they can't take holiday from us.
Christmas Tree is decorated with white doves with flags of the allies and blue and yellow bulbs. Nothing extra but very symbolic.
Striding Place is site-specific research project; motivated by an ongoing word-of-mouth narrative surrounding a stretch of river in West Yorkshire. Research shows that the site was initially associated with mythologies of the Underworld and Mother Earth Dieties; derived from Roman, Greek and Celtic cultures. One can follow the progression of attitudes towards the site from spiritual & respectful, to fearful & accusatory.
Over the course of 12 months, my experience of the site has been enhanced by these narratives. Regularly travel-ling the 278 miles to reach the place I have come to feel as my own. Walking, sitting, and waiting with the river to see what it gives back in return.

The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.
A site specific art installation in Govan, by Edo Architects. Dealing with themes of memory, reconciliation, attachment to place, and cultural values, the house was illuminated for another night as part of an event which celebrated local initiatives, stories, and aspirations for the future. As part of an event Weaving Truth With Trust, the structure accompanied the event well, as inside it is lined with a traditional lace made in Govan, hence acknowledging the importance of weaving within the development of Govan. Here's earlier shot of this in another location As i get to grips more with the D800 the dynamic range is particularly impressive...with pretty much all shadow detail captured (or recoverable) and extreme highlights proving not to be much of a problem!
Camera companies are funny. If you look at any specific type of current camera you’ll see that across several brands they’re practically identical. Here is another example of a compact rangefinder from the 1970s which has very similar features to others we’ve seen such as the Yashica Electro, New Canonet QL17, Konica C35 etc. This one is particularly small, light, and cute, with a fast, sharp and beautiful Rokkor 1.7 lens. It’s somewhere between the New QL17 and Konica C35 in size and features. Fully automatic, with an interesting ‘Easy Flash’ system that apparently adjusts the aperture as you focus, based on a guide number you set with an under-lens lever according to a table on the back of the camera (A,B,C,D, or E depending on the ASA and distance to subject). The auto-manual switch seems only to be for the flash setting. This is a fully automatic camera, you set the film speed and focus. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed.
JETSONORAMA - Door to Door with COLLEEN FLAHERTY
and
KATHY SLOANE - Gardens, Garages and Garbage Cans
Physician by day and artist by night, JETSONORAMA will create a location-specific artwork in collaboration/ assistance with Random Parts' artist, Colleen Flaherty in the East Lake neighborhood of Oakland, California. His intervention will be installed on a wall facing the Random Parts gallery and will become a permanent public artwork on the corner of 13th Avenue and East 12th St. in Oakland.
In Gardens, Garages and Garbage Cans, Sloane extends the traditional notion of portraiture to make a different kind of picture in her own neighborhood. She photographs gardens in makeshift pots and containers in front of old Victorian buildings and small apartment houses as well as inside auto body garages that proliferate in an area just east of Lake Merritt; a locale known for its vibrant diversity of immigrants and bustling small businesses. Its a neighborhood that on the surface appears shabby, but Sloane with this series of photographs, captures the beauty and spirit of a community. She gives the viewer a glimpse into a world that at first glance is a gritty concrete jungle but whose inhabitants see beauty in the unexpected and banal. In the words of the artist, these are photographs of gardens that proclaim “someone lives here, works there, who loves life and values beauty.”

Nataraja
Spirograph Wall Drawing (2003)
at Allegheny College, Meadville PA
A site specific drawing made directly on the walls of the gallery.
The drawing itself (made with the use of a spirograph, the 1960's
art making device for children) contains thousands of various small
circles representing "The Cosmic Dancer", an ancient image of the
divine dating back to prehistoric times in India. The drawing was
completed in three days.

Nataraja
By Anu Kumar
Nataraja, "The Cosmic Dancer" is an ancient image of the divine dating back to prehistoric times in India. The earliest figurines are cast in stone and found amidst the ruins of the Indus Valley civilization (circa 4000-2800 C.E.) Later representations are cast in either bronze or iron and to be found in southern india from the time of the Chola Dynasty (800-1100 A.D.) The most famous of these is installed in the Siva temple at Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu where for centuries it has inspired the imagination and fervent devotion of pilgrims from all over India.
The image is deceptively simple at first glance. It reveals a sure-footed dancer-figure firmly holding down a crouched demon while the other is half-raised in a balancing pose. Four arms reach out expressively - the one on the left holds up a lighted torch from which issue burning flames that form a majestic aureole or a halo of fire around the figure, at once illuminating and encircling it. The right arm holds up a drum, the flying tassels of which indicate a rhythmic song in progress. The lower left hand is held up with palm out in a symbolic gesture, or "mudra", indicating and exhorting fearlessness. The lower right hand reaches gracefully across a lithe torso pointing down towards the delicate foot that is raised in movement. Here rest and salvation are assured to those seeking sincerely. The figure is androgynous with a dangling earring on the left side. Adorned with snakes as armlets, it holds the crescent moon like a jewel-clasp in the hair which is other-wise aflight in all directions in the frenzied ecstasy of dance.
Seen in the mystic imagination of poets from long ago, The Nataraja is a profound vision of the Absolute. This god is by no means aloof or hidden apart from creation in some transfixed realm. Rather He is supremely alive to a present moment in time that is charged with an extraordinary power and bliss. He is utterly joyful and unconstrained. The mystery of such joy lies in a paradox: to be alive is to die each moment and create anew. The Cosmic Dancer has an unstinting capacity to endure his own death and to leap forth into an unknown place where He will be emptied of every familar position or posession, claim or identity - indeed, of life itself. Through such a complete reversal and sacrafice, then, the Dancer attains a new life in an open ground that is now illuminated by the fires of self-knowledge and a triumphant self-awareness. This is the prize, the deepest mystery of His joy. The Nataraja is in complete union- is unity itself as living truth of action.
The sense of unity is expressed through a fine sensitivity to balance by the Cosmic Dancer. Rising above fear and ignorance, this deity knows that movement is an expansion from the limited into the unlimited, of matter into spirit, because He understands balance. Opposites abide in Him rather than exsisiting without: death and creation, lightness and dark, joy and pain, are but complementary poles to be conjoined through harmony and poise. The central axis of the Dancer's body is like a spinal column that knows an exquisite connection to all space and holds it together. Then the entire panorama of the world becomes a play or "lila"- a game, a dance, a spontaneous outflow of energy. The sacred is everywhere and in every step.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
