Dissonantuum

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1994, Dissonantum is an artist who sees the everyday with a sight of total stripping of supreme words and transient judgments, not evil or goodness, not beauty or ugliness, just small raw pieces of the principles of human perception as they happen to be. Albert Camus, Emil Cioran, Fernando Pessoa, Charles Bukowski—these are some thinkers who inspired his worldview and started the journey for him. In his art, he is trying to show a perception of reality from a naked mind, and that is also how he takes and shows his photographs, for he never stages or adds anything outside what happens to be and what the camera can capture, the cameras that he uses are from a DSLR to a smartphone, whatever camera was at hand. The style  includes generally perpendicular angles of the object, subject, or landscape, without losing its natural organicity. Close-ups are the choice due to the prominence given to what is being captured. Low light and considerable ISO are other resources used to achieve textures, in addition to the variety and diversity of subjects and landscapes that are captured, very few times he uses movement as a tool. There is no specific subject, but rather anything that has generated awe accompanied by existential thoughts and sensations. His intention is to make photographs as faithful as possible to what the camera and him have seen. He takes photographs as a way to convey not the view but the perception of a moment that is filled with existential thought.Each photo can be seen as a phenomenological study of the limited yet broad human perception. 

These series are small and direct windows to places that are familiar to us, some of them very distant; you will judge where these places and things are from. His photographs come from stretching the mind as much as possible without breaking it or losing it, the direction of the stretch from the world of the eyes to the inside-out to the outside-in, matching into their corners; going back and forth.

"It is about seeing the world, the things inside and outside of it with our own very eyes and guts, without filters of supreme words or promises of perfection, with the humility of an understanding in progress and the courage to continue existing in the inherited uncertainty of chaos/order. To look directly at what we know, that there are many things that we understand, more that we can come to understand and incredibly many more that we don’t. To accept what cannot be known, secrets that we haven’t been told."
