Reframed

This project arose from some concerns that come to my head when I am face to face with a painting, especially when I look at the frame that accompanies it. In addition to noting that this element usually goes unnoticed and becomes invisible, because what is commonly seen is the image it contains, I am intrigued to see that in general frames present homogeneity in their formats. Although the designs have a wide material, stylistic and technical diversity, in general most of them are similar in their function, containing the representation in their interior, in the place they occupy, external edge of the canvas, and in its shape, geometric, angular or rigid. Identifying this inevitably leads me to consider the idea of challenging this traditional format, thinking of what might be beyond it and exploring other proposals where frameworks are transformed. That is why I created Reframed, a publication that questions and gives a different look to the traditional format of the frames. An illustrated book full of speculation, where I merge my position as a designer with the judgment of an art critic to imagine, create, project and narrate a story and reconfigure a selection of images of famous works of art. It is a fictional tale that provides alternate visual scenarios that invite the audience to reflect on what and how are they seeing, where the shape, material, size and location of the frame are reevaluated to give way to works that exceed its edge, frames that are placed on the inside of the canvases and present new structures and languages.
