Description from the seller
Closed round metal can. Diameter 210 mm.
Inside: Photographic Notebook, EP and Serigraphic Postcard.
Interior laid paper 135 g, Black-and-White.
IN BASQUE LANGUAGE.
The artist has chosen to use the pinhole photography technique, which she controls and has been working with for years, as the optimal material for the piece. This object uses the void as a space for the gestation of the image, and that is exactly the value Legarreta has given it: its relation to the concept of the uterus.
It has been the artist herself who has created her own cameras from metal cans. She has also provided them with four small holes or pinholes, with the intention of generating a type of multiplied image that bumps, stumbles, meets… and merges casually. The pinhole technique creates blurred images, without too much sharpness, timeless, discarded; a fact that Legarreta has also used to embrace a trance-like, dreamlike, primitive and undefined context, where the artist plays with the boundary between the stain and the image.
