Evgen Bavcar
I
was a terrible child, who the teachers could hardly
teach. I especially liked technology and reading.
One day a branch damaged my left eye, and I was unable
to predict the great calamity which had been forewarned.
For months, I observed the world with just one eye,
until one day a mine detonator damaged my right eye
as well. I didn't become blind immediately but little
by little, it went on for months, as if it were a
long farewell to light. So all the time I had to quickly
capture the most beautiful things, images of books,
colors and celestial phenomena, and to take them with
me on a voyage of no return.

In
the midst of so many superimposed Macondos there's
another that rises up: that of the Dutch photographer
Hannes Wallrafen, which could well be the most probable
of all Macondos in this world because it's backed
up by the conclusive documentation of some splendid
photographs. I was strangely moved when in the soporific
March heat of a ramshackle office in Cartagena de
Indias, Hannes first showed them to me. I did not
find any images equivalent to those which in some
sense underpin my novels, and yet the poetic quality
was the same.

So
as not to have to face the colossus of Archeology, I
have decided to approach the subject by following a
precise itinerary, imagining landscapes, portraits,
environments and objects, and by following almost the
same path that Italo Calvino took thirty years ago in
his Le Città Invisibili [The Invisible Cities]
(1972, Einaudi) where, through Marco Polos eyes,
he visited these seemingly believable cities.

When
I first started out as a photographer, I took a picture
of three blind street musicians in the city of Puebla.
This image helped me understand the great importance
of documentary photography and it encouraged me to do
research on the social conditions of Mexico's blind
people.

Voyeurism
used to be a bad word, suggesting a furtive pursuit
at once desperate and prurient, if not outright pathetic.
Now it has become a national pastime [USA]. We are a
nation of Peeping Toms, sometimes reluctant, usually
insatiable. The lone pair of eyes at the parlor window
has been replaced by a massive gape shared by a hundred
million viewers.

The
work in this exhibit represent selections from two bodies
of work, Ephemeral Beings and A Dark Eros.
Ephemeral
Beings deals with the transient evanescent nature of
our physical existence while the other explores eroticism
and sensuality.

This
project is an attempt to understand by way of the photographic
image the influence of migration, be it temporal or
permanent, from the countryside to the city, of important
sectors of Mazahua Indians who live in rural communities
in the State of Mexico, Mexico; as well as appraising
the influence this migration to Mexico City has on the
ways of life and cultural traits of the women, men and
young people belonging to this Mexican ethnic group.

In
this context it could prove anachronistic to cast one's
eyes back to primitive processes such as pinhole photography
(photography without a lens), but it turns out that,
paradoxically, this form of expression now has hundreds
of followers throughout the world.
For me, one of the advantages of this process is that
of being able to choose and create my own formats without
having to comply with the conventional ones. On the
other hand my work would not be possible without the
use of modern materials such as film and paper. However
I try to carry on being an alchemist's apprentice, as
for me, photography, amid all its meanings, is a purely
magical creation.

Trained
nowhere. My "creative path" is a painful chaos full
of irregularities, contradictions, repetitions and inconsistencies,
I neither know why nor can I argue why it is so. Lashing
out wildly and with very questionable information on
the contemporary cultural tendencies and forms of expression,
I present an increasingly confused creation, which is
the result on the one hand of my unstable character,
which is often sour, and on the other of the inconsistency
of my expressive proposals.

Clarín
is Argentina's most important newspaper and the engish
language one with the largest circulation. In 1999,
just as almost every press media of the world did, they
decided to celebrate the arrival of the new millennium
with a special journalistic production. In most cases
this consisted in taking stock of the century and the
millennium and in pointing out the most relevant events
and personages. Clarín chose to pay homage to
the generation of Argentineans who were about to cross
that virtual border, trying to show who they were and
what they were like. It wanted to leave a testimony
for the future generations, a document which would tell
them: we were there and this is how we were.

"More
detailed explanation will add nothing to what these
photographs must say for themselves. I will allow myself
only to warn the viewer against the danger of following
a false trail; the similarities with some famous canvases
are only a pretext, a shelter proposed to the models
to allow them to appear more as themselves."

LAND
OF THE FREE
(What
Makes Americans Different)
"These
are pictures about people who feel free and at liberty
to express themselves. Some of these expressions are
subtle, almost happenstance; others are extreme, especially
in the case of the photographs of impersonators. These
people indulge their love for celebrities by assuming
the outward appearance and mannerisms of their most
favored famous person; you'll find Elvis Presley and
Elizabeth Taylor look-alikes. I feel that the strength
of the statements made by these impersonators does a
lot to inform our understanding of the rest of us and
our dreams".

"Objects which resist being discarded. Be they
useful or useless, new or old, purchased, inherited,
found or stolen, they have acquired a life of their
own. By way of an imperceptible relation of values with
their owner, they have managed to acquire from him or
her the utmost protection, thus surviving house moves,
general clean-outs, depressions and fights between spouses."

"The
Nostalgia for Atlantis" takes the form of an imaginary
photographic exploration of Atlantis as if made from
a satellite. This form of "photography" would eliminate
the skyline - the basis of the code of image interpretation
in art - and at the same time eliminates perspective
in the depiction of space."

"This
story begins when I was three years old. It was then
that my father died as a result of a long illness.
Three
is also the age my daughter is when I take these pictures.
Illness strikes my family once again. This time my wife
is the afflicted one".
