EXHIBITION DETAILS

Energy Traces | Jesus Jimenez

November 5, 2010 – January 1, 2011

Working in photography, video and installation, I have found my inspiration in a personal obsession for the order, the trace and the object. Playful and inventive, my ideas may stem from a desire to mold a particular material or object – from hand dryers or dead leaves to bricks – with which I explore my relation with the World. The creative body of work is about staging and documenting absurd transitory and ephemeral situations for the camera. The intention is to appeal to open answers and questions from the audience, not only for the situations in front of the camera, but also for the ideas behind the camera.
