The dreamed answer is in the journey of return, but if everyone has also traveled on a temporary way, at his return the subject becomes an alien in his own land, a ghost with the “overloaded memory”, with memories petrified. These images are more than merely documents or illustration of places. They become clues on the traveler’s eternal way back. The core of the images in return that shapes the ghost.</p> </blockquote>http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/23484082022http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/23484082022Mon, 21 May 2012 17:17:00 +0100UlmGermanyexhibitionprojectstravelphotographydiaryjournal<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3csui6HJq1qccktdo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3csui6HJq1qccktdo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3csui6HJq1qccktdo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3csui6HJq1qccktdo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>For workers’ day, we restored an old damaged poster from socialist times that prays “<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">Creative work is filled with historical reference to Slovak National Uprising”, in collaboration with Igor Babiak.<br/></span></p>http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/22199493509http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/22199493509Tue, 01 May 2012 18:06:18 +0100projectsPeriférne CentráSlovakiaDúbravica<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2p7lisqB51qccktdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A wall drawing in process made for the retrospective exhibition of the painter Tomás Ledesma Fuentes at the Museo Regional de la Laguna, en Torreon (Mexico).

We invited 8 artists from different parts of Europe to create an open gallery on the landscape there.</p> <blockquote> <p>The goal is create a long-term Land art collection which will be unique in the area, at the same time that involves local people in the process and provides to the village new identitary symbols, creates different jobs related with ecotourism and points the importance to preserve a way of life closer to nature. The strategical location of Dúbravica, allows to create a link between Eastern and Western parts of Europe which will enrich the generation of ideas and connection between artists and their work.</p> </blockquote> <p>More pictures <a href="http://www.perifernecentra.com/2011/09/landscape-revisited.html#more">here</a> and <a href="http://www.arttoday.sk/1325/work-in-progres">here</a>.</p> <p><img height="879" src="http://www.arttoday.sk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/avatar1.jpg" width="800"/></p>http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/11391517599http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/11391517599Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:44:00 +0100Dúbravicacarmonamedinaland artresidencyvideoprojects<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt04dgh3PQ1qccktdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From next week, I’ll be taking part of this event in East Slovakia.</p>http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/11391890337http://www.carmonamedina.net/post/11391890337Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:11:00 +0100StaréSlovakiaPeriférne CentrumArttoday<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltc3bmeqZs1qccktdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Having place next week, my first curatorial project in Dúbravica (Slovakia).
