Bruno Cals "Horizon"
1500 Gallery
This event has ended.
In the words of the curator, Boris Kossoy: "In his Horizons work, Bruno Cals presents a reflection on space and time: landscapes from other worlds and possibly extinct (or still unborn?) civilizations, not necessarily human. How do our minds react to the unknown? To empty landscapes, without historical clues? [...] Cals shows us mostly places that are apparently abandoned; places without any trace of humans or other forms of life; a few exceptions, however, surprise us for containing possible high-tech landscapes that could imply the presence of advanced worlds: space stations, artificial cities? [...] In these images we search for the air, we hear the silence. We reflect on infinite distances and immemorial times. [...] This is the journey of a photographer who finds, in the appearance of things, only the starting point."
