“The spectrum begins in my chemistry, when it interacts with the photon.
The most extraordinary thing for me has been understanding the role of the observer in reality; it opens us to a world of photonic physics within the human being.
When you have a goal, it expands to its entire sphere. The question and the answer are within the same ecosystem. By this, I mean that the instruments for representing the extraordinary reality are within the artist’s reality, projected onto their medium. I discovered that time is not a sequence of cause and effect, but rather a sphere of possibilities. The perception of time is an illusion, an ideology. Degeneration occurs through entropy. The further we move away from the potential development of our species, the more disconnected we are from our lifeblood, the Ether. And in the same way, any decision that favors our genuine potential, we react by increasing the lifeblood in a natural process of self-preservation.
The sphere is the ecosystem of possibilities, where human development finds its space, from the desire to see beauty.
The interesting thing is to arrive at the question; the rest comes by itself. The question is a position in space, it is a mind without friction, it is immediate contact (= Love). The key is to make use of all possibilities.
I practice photography from simplicity to discover the complex. Sophistication is automating the image to a perfect reality devoid of purely human content in favor of machine-like development. With AI, the automation of the image, human development is displaced to post-production, where artificial references are used that, due to their continuous use, are normalized. My intention in sharing my experience is to show a world where humans can continue to advance in their exquisite creative capacity.
The ecosystem is a great lens. Natural or urban, the interaction with the photon is an intimate matter. I play, discovering a new language where I use the “natural technology” at my disposal.
Etermynd is the photography of simple instruments to capture the ephemeral. It’s about using the naturalness of things, of space. A ray of light, or a drop of water at a certain temperature, or a reflection on a specific material, can be interfaces for seeing the extraordinary in a space. It’s a challenge to explore what is within everyone’s reach, without sophisticated cameras with artificial intelligence or other beauty-producing systems. My intention is to explore this space of interaction with natural and urban ecosystems. It’s an opportunity in my development to see the extraordinary and bring natural photography within everyone’s reach.
Etermynd is a compound of two words, “eter” in its simplified linguistic expression and “mynd,” which means image in Icelandic. The project emerged after years of research into the patterns of nature, and I began developing it at the polar extremes of the Earth, inspired by the auroras, Birkeland currents, and other expressions of the spectrum.
When you develop a certain sensitivity to color, you can perceive the variations of the spectrum in space-time, differentiate the elements that make up a place, relate them to other places, and understand the “nexus” of the Earth. There is a defined identity in the chromatic language that changes with the mix. It’s a new language that responds to the most sophisticated natural technology: the human mind.”
