Carlos Hernández uses the climber´s action within the urban context to create a series of black and white images in which the exterior visual context comes to an abstraction. This view makes our attention to be focused only in the action that takes place between the urban element and the climber, to allow a way for a personal interpretation of what urban spaces may become for each of us.
" I started this series of images mainly because I like the aesthetic charge that is created by mixing urban buildings or sculptures with people climbing. The dynamic and strength of bodies in tension interacting with these spaces, which are not the usual to practice climbing, create new forms of interpretation where the most important is not the building or the person itself but the common space they create. A space where both use each other and, where some areas, that may not be important to define the building itself, are interesting to create a relationship with the model. Although my intention with this series was purely aesthetic, can be a reinterpretation on how we use our urban spaces and how we adapt it to us. Is it possible to reinterpret the uses for which they were originally created? Is it possible we can use them for anything else? "
