Javier Vallhonrat, Autogramas, n°3, 1991
courtesy Galerie Forum
Born in 1953, he lives in Madrid.
Photographs in the "Autograms" series celebrate the fundamental principles of photography: time, light, action. The artist is lit by matches, the only source of light, composing a primitive choreography that the film records. Cibachriomas tear through the darkness, revealing the brilliant streaks of light along the photographer's body.
