Designed by Nikolai Rose
A visual wormhole into the world of Gogy Esparza's photographs, at the core of which is a series taken on his BlackBerry, a tool well suited to transient moments. With Nikolai Rose he designed a book of the images and an immersive installation that embodies the El Vacío experience. Rather than displaying the photographs as a linear sequence, the design distils the all-encompassing feeling of the installation into a physical object: images are doubled, layered, cropped, mis-aligned and repeated to create a sense of depth and déjà vu. Autobiographical in concept, spirit and subject matter, it is a photographic testimony to his life, and El Vacío is a space he has been inside and has documented.
