VISIONES DE CANAIMA

BY RODOLFO GERSTL

 

      RODOLFO GERSTL goes to the tepuyes not only to meet them but to do it with himself. The encounter gives him existence. The detail of his vision, where it is not known who sees and who is seen, gives us an idea of ​​the depth of his emotions, of his inspiration. listen to what he says the water, lets himself be watched by the trees and sits on the rocks like someone accompanies a friend. In that instant he is born, he is born every time he goes and sees; it is the vision of a continued birth.

Just as he finds himself, he finds the existence of things and their photography teaches us to see those same emotions, showing us the resources that uses the visible to make itself visible. Rather than introduce us to the landscape and its details to be seen teaches us to see the soul of things. wake up in we marvel to see.

THE BOOK

 

Angel, a JUMP INTO THE LOST WORLD

 

      Attempting to perpetuate his fascinating experience, Rodolfo Gerstl has put together a book with a selection of images which describe an experience that is practically impossible to express with words. This book explains a conversation between nature and himself; a sensorial dialogue in which water, colors, textures, dimensions and distance seem to have voices of their own.

      Guided by his senses, he lets go and is enveloped by the synchronicity between what is felt and what is sensed. It is the starting point, the beginning of his relationship with the other reality. It implies an exchange where both worlds become one, an inseparable and vital act of communication between his total being and the outside world. And in these videos he shows us how it´s done, enjoy.
