I'm afraid Gonza's going to be sore tomorrow. When logic takes the day off, the bedroom ceases to be a safe haven and becomes a rat's nest. It's that state of alert where the subconscious projects a threat that, even without a face, forces us to run without moving from the mattress.
But, Are we running away from others or from what we carry inside? Often, what seems to haunt us is nothing more than the shadow of our own guilt, the fears we don't confront in broad daylight, or the truths we choose to ignore while we're awake. In the end, the greatest danger doesn't come from outside, but from our capacity to be, simultaneously, the fleeing victim and the executioner reaching out to seize us.
Perhaps it's not a bad idea to start questioning whether running away is the solution to some of our problems or is simply transferring the problems to tomorrow's Gonza.
Hopefully, when he woke up and looked back, he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the black hand was only in his subconscious.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND PUBLISHING COMMITMENT
If you have decided to purchase a unit of The wanted, you've made an excellent choice. You're not investing in just another photograph: i don't sell catalog prints. While a large print shop might produce 100,000 copies of a blank image for any waiting room, I'm limiting this essay to a select few. It's the difference between decorating a wall and imbuing it with an identity shared by only a small group of people.
Why such a small edition?
- Workshop Warranty: Limiting the series allows me to personally certify that every cotton fiber and every drop of ink is exactly where it should be.
- Finitude: Just as an honest conversation can't have a thousand participants at once without getting lost, these pieces are limited in size so that the dialogue between the paper and the viewer remains intimate. We don't want to trivialize ideas that have taken years of study as if they were just a merchandising product.
Display standard
- Paper: I only use the best exhibition photographs papers: Canson Baryta 310 g/m² and similar.
- Authenticity: Each work includes certificate of authenticity signed by hand and a system of double void hologram to ensure the integrity of the copy.
File note: Apart from the 100 limited editions, there are 2 AP and 3 large format museum edition copies (Giclée process).
Printer's Note: I apply standard museum margins (10% on the sides/top and 20% on the bottom). The artwork is signed on the right margin, but if you prefer it signed on the back or without the signature, I can adjust that. What matters is the idea.
Shipping: I'm deliberately overly cautious with the protection; it personally pains me to see a piece arrive damaged. Inside the package, you'll find the artwork wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, a certificate of authenticity, care instructions, cotton gloves, and a few other surprises. I also use recycled wood and cardboard with as little plastic as possible to make the packaging environmentally friendly.
