This Map Fascinates Me. I Would Love To Understand The Algorithms By Which It Is Constructed.

Over the years I worked with film photography, I sometimes used long exposures to photograph moving water. It occurred to me today that perhaps I could layer stills from a GIF to achieve similar effects. Here’s one result of my experiments.

First and last images in this group* — « Líber », Coderch & Malavia, 74 cm., 2020.

Some notes on this piece (because it intrigued me):

Joan Coderch (1959- ) and Javier Malavia (1970- ) are Valencia-based sculptors who have been working together in a collaborative partnership known as Coderch & Malavia since 2015 (1, 2). Their Instagram account identifies this sculpture as a 2020 work in white and brown patinated bronze called « Líber » (3), probably signifying “free” in Valencian Catalan. The sculpture stands 78 centimeters (30.75 inches) tall and was produced as “Li[í?]ber (White)” in an edition of eight (4). In addition to the 8-piece edition in white and brown patina, the sculptors also apparently produced an edition of eight, “Li[í?]ber (Black),” in bronze with black patina (5, 6).

* When I first encountered this reblogged post, only the very first image showed. The other sculptures are (from top to bottom): « El tejido del tiempo (Tissue of Time) », “Clio’s Dream,” “The Flight of the Swan,” “Haiku,” and “Moonlight Shadow.”

Yellow rose, Wytheville, VA, 8/19/2017

Blessed are those who arrive in our lives in silence, with light steps not to awaken our pains, not to awaken our ghosts, not to resuscitate our fears. Blessed are those who address us with lightness, kindly, speaking the language of peace so as not to frighten our souls. Blessed are those who touch our hearts with affection, look at us with respect and accept us whole with all our mistakes and imperfections. Blessed are those who give wings to our dreams and courage to our days. These people who unknowingly bring us comfort and encouragement and who naturally brighten our moments.
