Photojournalist from Yucatan to present "Universos en Expansión" exhibition

Mexico, Mérida, Feb. 6 (Notimex) .- Francisco Martin, Mexican photojournalist, led the inauguration of his new exhibition titled "Universos en Expansión,” he successfully participated in the Photographic Month in France, where he mounted the exhibition "Locotomía".

In an interview, he explained that "Universos en Expansión" consists of pictures of things without apparent importance, soil parts, objects or ephemeral scenes, little things, but they are product of an impulse.

"In the photograph, the hole where the light passes by (diaphragm), is the space, while the shutter measures the time in turn when the photography is recorded on the sensitive surface (shutter time)," he said.

"Thus the space-time interacts in the chamber but they don’t mix, they form an everything; the picture. It's like, the picture keeps intuition and reason and produces a world view," he added.

He indicated that the diaphragm is the cause and "reason", while the "intuition" unstable and insecure, this is what allows movement in photography, and the shutter provides it.

There is reciprocity between diaphragm and shutter, but it is given according to the rules of each of them, by example time-space, shutter-diaphragm, intuition-reason, and they continuously affect each other, Francisco Martin said.

"Universo en Expansión" is the midpoint between what we feel and think, between what is important and what is not, between time and space, between shutter and diaphragm, between bird altitude and snake crawling, and right there we are halfway through the micro and the macro, he said.

The photographic series manifest the human being duality. "You put your eye into the camera and the universe changes," he said.

The graphs were taken in several European cities like Madrid, Spain; Berlin, Germany; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Paris.

The exhibition is supported by the National Council for Culture and Arts, and the Culture and Arts Ministry of Yucatán and is set at DEmergencia Gallery, located in the district of Santa Ana, in the historic center of the city.

The technique used by the photographer is digital photograph printed on vinyl and mounted on "trovicel".
