Ojos que no ven

Images, from their origins, were there to tell stories, always accompanied by words, sometimes written, others imagined by the viewer, from the petroglyphs of the dog-men in the Libyan desert to the drawings of Jean-Jacques Lequeu. And so it happened until the Industrial Revolution, the conquest of the world by machines. The camera was one of those machines that changed our way of seeing, living and creating literature. From then on the images and words renounced the story, to take us to no other place than the images themselves and the words themselves, in their color, matter, space, form, sound, giving rise to images and words absorbed in themselves. The avant-garde staged for the first time this paradigm shift that has determined artistic practice to this day.
