Ibon Aranberri: Gramatica de meseta

Gramatica de meseta presents itself as the imperfect result of a whole: it confirms the importance of an account and the impossibility of a linear construction. From a de-centred viewpoint (which is a subterfuge used to cover up the impossibility of grasping the different registers involved) a universalising account is evoked: a story of stories or an interrupted flow. Different genres overlap. On the one hand we encounter the futile intent to catalogue originals stored in archives, both those of large companies and those in the private collections of amateur photographers. On the other, we find the chance result of an itinerant, updated approximation to those same places through the medium of the camera. Meta-history, or the exhibition as antithesis.
