Sí, estamos en la era digital, hablamos de los megapixeles, del formato RAW, de las maravillas de los chips... y que tiene que ver eso con la imagen? parece una obra contemporánea hecha con material reciclado, una propuesta para cualquier curaduría, bueno casi, casi.
Sí es hecha por un artista, Miroslav Tichý, checo para mas señas, a nadie le suena?
Y es una cámara fotográfica que funciona, aquí algunas de sus fotos. Cómo está hecha? una lata de tomate, un fragmento de plexiglas abandonado, una cajetilla de cigarrillos vacía.
Aunque la única ambición de este hombre extraño era, fundamentalmente, mantener su libertad, muy pronto su actitud fue interpretada como una forma de disidencia por las autoridades comunistas, que empezaron a controlarlo, y luego de varios años en psiquiátricos se marginó en su pueblo de Kyjov donde al no poder pintar por prohibición estatal se dedicó a la fotografía. Cuando la gente le preguntaba si era pintor el contestaba: Soy Tarzán pensionado
