Aleix Plademunt- bio
Plademunt questions the relationship between man and space throughout his work. He is interested in the way in which all landscapes have some form of human interference, even if this is almost in detectable. Plademunt states ‘I wonder about the immensity of space and its magnificence. There are no virgin spaces left: It does not matter how far they are, the landscape always has a human trace behind.’
Another theme of Plademunt’s is the way in which humans are constantly producing evermore objects and materials. Many of these become forgotten and abandoned. ‘Abandonment is implied in any process of creation’. Aleix Plademunt’s images are often empty and desolate spaces framing human intervention. His ‘Espectadores’ series is almost haunting in the invocation of an absent audience. Each time the audience has departed or is yet to arrive to view the human, industrial interventions in the landscape.
