Between Heaven And Earth

Cristina Garcia Rodero

I want to speak about the human being, the dualities and contradictions of life; The old traditions and the new rituals, the natural and the supernatural, religious and pagan, pain and pleasure, humans and gods, spirit and body, water and earth, life and death.

Io penso che il tuo intento fosse quello di ritrarre il mondo arcaico ieratico clericale di Medea vs. quello moderno razionale e pragmatico di Giasone. Ora, sappiamo che Giasone inconsciamente ama Medea, ma la sua ricerca è esclusivamente intenta al successo. Quello che qui vediamo, dunque, non è la Colchide di Medea, ma la Corinto di Creonte e, in essa, la spaventosa tragedia scaturita dall'irriducibilità reciproca fra due civiltà culturalmente contrapposte. "Il passaggio dal sacro allo sconsacrato, dal primitivo al tecnologico, dal pulsionale al razionale, non può avvenire che a prezzo di una rimozione del primo termine della polarità, ma questa rimozione è un errore (psichico e culturale insieme) che il secondo termine deve pagare a un prezzo di sofferenza molto alto." http://www.griseldaonline.it/formazione/medea_ricci.htm

Io sono una forza del Passato. Solo nella tradizione è il mio amore. Vengo dai ruderi, dalle chiese, dalle pale d'altare, dai borghi abbandonati sugli Appennini o le Prealpi, dove sono vissuti i fratelli. Giro per la Tuscolana come un pazzo, Per l'Appia come un cane senza padrone. O guardo i crepuscoli, le mattine su Roma, sulla Ciociaria, sul mondo, come i primi atti della Dopostoria, cui io assisto, per privilegio d'anagrafe, dall'orlo estremo di qualche età sepolta. Mostruoso è chi è nato dalle viscere di una donna morta. E io, feto adulto, mi aggiro più moderno di ogni moderno a cercare fratelli che non sono più. (Pier Paolo Pasolini)

Stunning photos,music & pictures are intermingled,giving a beautiful experience,but showing of sexual organs esp,penis is slightly disturbing it might be avoided.

where does superstition and cultural religion end and life-enhancing, life-changing spiritual reality begin?

Fantástico, maravilhoso, uma cadência entre as imagens e o som sem igual. Permite uma interpretação muito gostosa do trabalho. Sem palavras................

很震撼的一组~，用音乐凸显了图片所承载的含义，讽刺的或是神圣的。马格兰图片社的作品总是那样的直白和深刻，没有任何矫情，做作。也就是这种真实的东西令世界看上去更接近她的本质。祝愿在新的一年里，贵社与日俱进~ 来自中国的祝福~~

Good motion. Very full of strange sensations. And makes you go outside to take fotos. Nice version of "tirauki" song. Mmm...8!

This is amazing. The photographs are undoubtedly stunning. It is not easy to talk about human beings and nature and supernatural things but the images are so communicating and moving. It is a very good body of work.
