ANDRÉS MEDINA: “LIGHT IN DARKNESS”
The night seems to provide the Spanish photographer Andrés Medina the chance to reclaim the space in its most neutral dimension. Deprived of the life that flows through it during the day, the space becomes the perfect setting in which the artist moves, casually talking with the light necessary to give breath and importance to its most striking forms and lines.
«With “The Night Experience” series I wanted to show the importance of light that transforms urban landscapes when night falls. Locations are special to me, as a result of the search that took place for long night exposures. Empty places with great visual strength, simplicity but effective. They are industrial sites, car parks, civil constructions, railway stations, sports facilities. All this serves to express myself when night falls. Overall I seek places that no one expects to be photographed. Places away from people, emptied for a moment of its activities. These sites are usually gloomy, with a cold atmosphere and sometimes they produce uncomfortable rejection in the observer.»
