Campo de juego
“Campo de Juego” was captured in the La Hoz del Rio Dulce forest in Guadalajara, Spain. This location served as the backdrop for a documentary series called “Fauna Ibérica,” created by Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente and broadcasted on Spanish public television in the 1980s. The series presented nature from a fresh perspective with an educational purpose.
This project emerged from the interplay between three different realities. Firstly, there is the physical space where the images were captured. Secondly, there is the portrayal of that space as depicted in the documentary series. Finally, there is the realm of the domesticated or trained animals used for the purpose of capturing animal scenes. Initially, the documentary contained a significant amount of fictional elements, but through its broadcast on television, it assumed the status of reality.
In “Campo de Juego,” the camera and the artist’s personal perspective become the tools that generate new layers of reality within this space. They redefine the classification of the locations used for the capturing process, reversing the process from reality to fiction. This approach grants the images a disquieting, almost magical atmosphere, inviting the viewer to construct an alternative narrative.
