In 2020, Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Jove Foundation from A Coru\u00f1a invited me to be, in collaboration with Juan de Nieves, the editor of a publication by photographer Dami\u00e1n Ucieda, in which Ucieda\u2019s photo essay was to be presented alongside a selection of archival documentation illustrating the project\u2019s context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn addition to the photographs from Cami\u00f1o negro, this book brings together four essays that analyze the implications of Dami\u00e1n Ucieda\u2019s photographic work from various perspectives: art history, the environment, urbanism and new uses of land, and the energy and eco-social crisis that looms as an increasingly real and imminent threat to contemporary society. These essays are complemented by two elements: on the one hand, a chronology that, based on visual and textual documents from a wide variety of sources, summarizes the historical and social context in which an oil pipeline and a refinery were planned, built, and have coexisted in the city of A Coru\u00f1a for more than half a century; and on the other, the spontaneous\u2014but no less accurate\u2014analyses that some of the people who live with the industrial complex on a daily basis offer in their appearances in the video that forms part of the project (\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cami\u00f1o negro \u2013 Dami\u00e1n Ucieda<\/em> is, therefore, a choral work, in which the photographer\u2019s gaze is surrounded by other voices\u2014from the world of art and beyond\u2014which, taken together, describe a complex reality in which different ways of relating to the environment overlap and coexist without interruption.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Fragment of the editorial note by Mela D\u00e1vila and Juan de Nieves)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 2020, Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Jove Foundation from A Coru\u00f1a invited me to be, in collaboration with Juan de Nieves, the editor of a publication by photographer Dami\u00e1n Ucieda, in which Ucieda\u2019s photo essay was to be presented alongside a selection of archival documentation illustrating the project\u2019s context. \u201cIn addition to the photographs from Cami\u00f1o negro, … Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3396,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[48,72],"class_list":["post-3419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editorial","tag-artists-publications","tag-photography"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3419"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3689,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3419\/revisions\/3689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artfile.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
