The Monochrome Experience: Dadaist Gadget
A pleasant surprise: a woman with a cat in a transparent backpack roamed quietly through the old town. Tristan Tzara would have drooped with envy: it is an amazing dadaist gadget! And the poet will share again agglomerations of obscure images, nonsense syllables, outrageous juxtapositions, ellipses, and inscrutable maxims… the primal seat of creativity, the…

The Monochrome Experience: Mirror-Image Universe
New experiments reveal hints of a world and a reality that are complete reflections of ours, with some particles capable of switching between the two. This mirrorverse may be able to solve the mystery of the universe’s missing dark matter. Nestling within the fabric of space and time alongside our own familiar universe, the implications…

The Monochrome Experience: The Kiss
V-J Day in Times Square is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a nurse on Victory over Japan Day in New York City’s Times Square on August 14, 1945. In my picture there is no war or victory. They are a couple who celebrate their love in…

The Monochrome Experience: Planning Futures
People do not live in the present. We are moving towards a future, as if we were going to embark on a long journey, without realizing that as passengers we are already in transit, the transit of the present. There are also those who decide to live in the past, on experiences forgetting that they…

The Monochrome Experience: Black Cat
In random games, the black cat is lucky. People dressed in black have always caused me some fascination. In intellectuals (writers, artists, thinkers, actresses, philanthropists …) is a combination that gives the character a kind of magnetism that perhaps undressed would not have it. Play in the lottery, maybe a black cat will give you…

The Monochrome Experience: Swing & Blood
These spontaneous swing dancers move their bodies elegantly to the rhythm of the music. Also after dancing for a while they will donate blood doing a solidarity action. I hope that the sick recipients of their vigorous blood will dance out of the hospitals and recover at the speed of light.

The Monochrome Experience: Whimsy Light
The light is whimsical, fortunately. Watch this woman, down the subway scales. She wears a very radical hairstyle. Half shaved hair, with the shell (half head) in sight. And the light, as the bold hairstyle points out, illuminates just the place of the shorter hair. A form of light that is repeated under the staggered…

The Monochrome Experience: Wrapped Statues in White Cloth and Nets
Modern art visited the Columbus monument in Barcelona. A necessary restoration of the statues of the base (66 ft) wide circle, with four staircases. For me, in my humble opinion, now the statues from the buttresses and against the pedestal reach the top artistic zenith. They should always be like that: wrapped in white fabrics…

The Monochrome Experience: Warning To The Seagulls
The sea is the canvas. Seagulls paint abstract drops. The torso man is a white spot. The woman with the sunglasses and the enigmatic smile, the time. The needles of the horizon obey a certain order and a warning to the seagulls: do not rest here, or you will prick the feathers.

The Monochrome Experience: Giants
Photographing giants is a festive activity that modifies our human scale. We are insignificant if we compare ourselves with them. They dance and wear their best clothes. It is something magnificent that allows us to daydream and forget the gear of redistribution of wealth and intrusive digital marketing.

The Monochrome Experience: Strange Things
Sometimes photographs capture strange situations. A bike that looks like a motorcycle. A woman with sunglasses who put her hand on her forehead so as not to be blinded by light. The old man looking inside his nose. The bike with too many wheels. One strange street with the two men below and the woman…

The Monochrome Experience: Crossed Lifes
On a quantum level the laws of physics overflow our cartesian existence. If we imagine the subjects as quantum particles, the photographer would attend an experiment in the Nature’s laboratory.
