LIMITED EDITIONS:
Well, it seems Gonza isn't having the best of times; last night's accommodation wasn't as comfortable as he would have liked. Let's hope that, at least, the street critters left him to sleep in peace.
It's unsettling to observe how the same environment can mean such opposite things depending on individual circumstances. We can share morning rituals that are, at once, so similar in form yet so different in essence. In such vast societies, it's inevitable that parallel realities exist and paths that never intersect.
Diogenes, the philosopher, lived in a large tub and was as happy as a pig in mud. He didn't crave possessions; it's said he even had a wooden spoon which he decided to throw away when he saw a child eating lentils with his hands. However, I fear that not everyone in Gonza's situation has voluntarily chosen Diogenes' asceticism. That is undoubtedly one of the pending tasks of our society. to distinguish between the freedom of having nothing and the tragedy of having lost everything
So, while Gonza finishes his own personal "sun salutation," I move on to the next shot. I hope this photo essay comes to fruition sooner or later because, otherwise, I fear that my own morning routines and nighttime accommodations will soon become too similar to those of our particular character.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND PUBLISHING COMMITMENT
If you've decided to purchase an Asana unit, you've made an excellent choice. You're not just investing in 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.
