Synopsis

The disarmingly clear-eyed landscapes and cityscapes of Jordi Bernado reveal a photographer with an uncanny ability to sidestep all cliches and re-invent the genre. Photography here is conceived as a dense text whose meaning is to be found in overall comprehension, yet which contains subtle data if we read between the lines -- if we read, that is, the fine print to which the title's asterisk refers. Bernado lays out his photographs in pairs, and thus suggests a way to perhaps a third, unseen image. The unique format of the book, its horizontal length and careful design, make the book a sublimely effective work. Whether of Atlanta, Vancouver, Tokyo, Tenerife, desert roads or sea coasts, these images drift into one's consciousness.

About this title

Synopsis

The photograph is here conceived of as a dense text whose meaning is to be found in overall comprehension, yet which contains subtle data if we read between the lines: the treacherous fine print to which the title of the book refers. In "Good News*" Jordi Bernado manages to make reality look like a prop and make invisible cities visible. His photographs show what he sets out to portray but no one is able to recognize what he portrays. Jordi Bernado lays his photographs out in twos, in pairs; two distinct but paired images allow you to see, to invent another image. In our subconscious, his images dig until they find something that makes you react, that makes you understand that which has always been there: Lleida, Tenerife, Atlanta, Tokyo and Montreal.
