Picture yourself on a Weekend, maybe a Saturday, the sun
is shining, it´s cold, but not to cold for a walk, One or two clouds in the sky
and you have been all morning lying on the terrace tanning your self,
experiencing the real “weather project
“( "not the artificial sun in the Tate modern by Olafur Eliason") drinking a happy tonic, only because it is
too soon to turn your happytonic into something else; Suddenly, an Idea. Get
up, have a shower, you know you need it, and device the perfect afternoon with
some of your naive friends or companions, those you can cheat easily. Go to
Plaza Castilla, gossip and criticizes Santiago Calatrava for being so damn
clever, building such awful things everywhere, do what he likes, and get very
well paid for it ;Telling yourself you could do
better. In the meantime, your are getting inside the “Canal” and your level of
angerness is decreasing.
Magnum Photos ! Those people knew how to work and enjoy their proffesion!...

Magnum was
founded in New York in March 1947 as a cooperative of photographers who had two
objectives: first, to make a new form of photojournalism, and secondly, create
an independent agency outside of large journalistic companies , full autonomy
on issues they would try and reserving intellectual property rights.
For photographers of Magnum was essential to have
freedom to choose their own stories and work on them for long periods of time.
They believed that photographers had to have their own point of view and should
not be controlled by the editors of a magazine.
DO WE HAVE LOST THIS? EXPERIMENT A THEME FOR A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME RECREATING OURSELVES IT´S POSSIBLE NOWADAYS?... Are we going too fast?
..."You can not believe that the group Magnum
Photography is a UNIFORM, it includes all types of individual talents and
creative technical approaches and interests. That said, it does present a kind
of unity, a unity difficult to define but nevertheless there.” ...
It is like talking of Arquid?...Stay tunned…
After a long afternoon learning, culturing your self, you and the innocents who accompany you, deceived by the vague promise of a new
and different afternoon experienced…
Reward yourself, get rest, eat, drink, and see what´s
beneath your feet. You can discovered a fantastic mosaic of pieces that remaind
you another time.
Geometries combined, create a mosaic, travel to another time ... and
please! Please!… only do one thing. Watch where you step because it is one hell
of a floor!. Enjoy the experience! Your are ending your day in the Punck Bach of
Madrid.
