Vulnerabilia (Printed Matter)

Jonathan Hernandez nos presenta una coleccion de imagenes sobre uno de los productos mas abundantes de la era de las masas: el papel impreso. El mundo contemporaneo seria incomprensible sin esa sutil revolucion del papel que dio palabras a las masas. Sin embargo, pese a esta milenaria vocacion protagonica, el papel impreso va cediendo su lugar, en nuestros dias, a los medios electronicos, mas veloces e intangibles. Cada imagen que nos presenta es una reproduccion digital de otra imagen alguna vez impresa en papel. Su trama, discontinua y fragmentada, nos conduce desde el terreno mas crudamente material, hasta el espacio intangible del deseo. ----------------------------------------------------Jonathan Hernandez presents a collection of images of one of the most abundant products of the era of masses: printed paper. The contemporary world would be incomprehensible without this subtle paper revolution that gave words to the masses. However, in spite of this thousand year-old protagonist role, printed paper is currently relinquishing its place to the faster and intangible electronic media. Each image that Jonathan Hernandez presents us with is a digital reproduction of an image once printed on paper. And each one of these shows one of the social uses of paper. Its plot, discontinuous and fragmented, takes us from the most crudely material realm to the intangible space of desire. And all this from the conscious paradox of a work that will never be embodied on paper.
