It turns out Gonza is one of those people who believe that hiding under the covers or covering your eyes during a ghost movie are powerful and foolproof solutions. I don't judge him; if you've ever experienced it, you know that a nightmare in which you feel there's someone or something else in your room can be the source of an indescribable, irrational fear. In that state of helplessness, the cotton of the bed becomes our only—and sometimes useless—line of defense against the invisible.
You probably already know that these visions are hypnagogic hallucinations, very common and perfectly normal phenomena from a physiological point of view. They are sensory experiences that occur just as you fall asleep or wake up, in that imprecise limbo between wakefulness and sleep. Although they can be very distressing and caused by stress or worries on your mind, they are nothing more than a "system error" of our own biology.
Even though it's common and has a clear scientific explanation, philosophical doubts inevitably arise. It's curious how we insist on keeping our defenses down against the outside world while waging an internal guerrilla war every time we lower our mental blinders. The question remains: What would happen if, instead of hiding behind the blanket, we stopped to see who or what is there and what they want? Why do we feel that paralyzing fear of the unknown?
Let's leave Gonza in his own personal "ship of mystery" and continue searching for new questions on this journey of thought.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND PUBLISHING COMMITMENT
If you have decided to purchase a unit of Entities, 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.
