To witness this transformation process, to see how the scar stops bleeding and becomes passing of time, patience is required but will is also needed. Patxi Cobo is a witness to these processes in different parts of his life. Anonymous places, places that are no more milestones marked by his memory. He portraits landscapes in his photographs individually by its own history and by the look that is recognised. Cobo offers wild landscapes, fragments of angry nature recovered and that covers everything around us, but they are also abstract images, biographical memories of the author that draw a parallel between his life, his continuous returns, systematic, and the ongoing transformation of what we see behind his machine.
