Surely must be Borges’ unborn son“ (D. Michals). – „Chema Madoz born in 1958 in Madrid, where he lives and works. He studied History of Art at the Complutense University of Madrid. His first individual exhibition was in Madrid in 1983, at the Royal Photographic Society of Madrid. Since 1990 he has been developing the concept of objects, a subject which would appear constantly in his photography until the present. The photographs show in a subtle and ironic way paradoxical worlds of everyday objects. Familiar objects are placed in a new context, beyond a function – and achieve a new meaning through the playful interaction with other objects. These assembled constructions play with reality, our perception and exaggerate it – and release it in a poetic way. … Madoz’s photographs are titled “Untitled”, which is itself a paradox. In fact, by titling his photographs “Untitled”, what Madoz does is to paradoxically, (un)title his photographs. Madoz plays with the (visual) poetry of language and the complex simplicity of his (re) contextualised (re) presentations which, via resemblance and distraction, are performed in our intellect, leading us into a state of not only dual contemplation but of interaction; giving us, in any case, something we did not have before“ (P. V. Mullor, Eyemazing issue 02-2007). – Tadellos.
