Various textures appear in these golden photographs<\/strong> by Jordi Ortiz<\/strong>; textures we can almost touch. Matter has made itself present in them: the hardness and firmness of the rock, even its sharpness and power to cut, is combined with the softness of the foam, and contrasts with the ephemeral and volatile nature of the clouds, with the fragility of the leaves on the tree branches. The foam of the waves resembles the leaves. Oppositions, complementarity, similarities, contrasts: all the elements dialogue with each other to form a unity that is the totality that these twenty-four photographs aspire to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“\u00abStop, wave!\u00bb is what we seem to hear as we contemplate one of the photographs by Jordi Ortiz brought together under the title ‘L\u2019Entorn’, \u2018that which surrounds us\u2019, \u2018that which is given us\u2019: sea, forest, rock, sky. Everything is halted in these images, as if everything were itself stone: the leaves on the branches, immobile, nothing stirring them; the clouds in the sky, immobile, as if they had never passed across the vault, slowly or swiftly. But it is the crashing and roaring waves that alert us to the fact that all around us here is as petrified as the rocks. These photographs on 23.75-carat Rosenoble gold leaf show an environment, a setting that is nature. The photographer\u2019s camera has captured the moment, and the gold has rendered it eternal.<\/em>“
