Gaia 6 presents a minimalist depiction of the land and sky. On the earth, one lone tree stands isolated in the lanscape.

As for the sky, Bach isolates also one singular small cloud in a vast expanse of sky. And yet, the sky and earth are inverted: the cloud rests underneath the lone tree, commenting on the natural juxtaposition and harmony of all.

The series Gaia takes its names from the hypothesis by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, which describes Earth as a single superorganism in which living beings and the rest of the planet establish a self-regulating equilibrium that ensures the survival of the whole.

In this series of diptychs, Llorens creates a duality of meaning by juxtaposing two photographs of natural elements found in Llorens' own natural habitat. These two individual images combine to make a third, holistic, harmonious whole, which differs from the simple sum of its parts, as described by Ralph Gibson in 'Overtones and Proportions'.

'Gaia' was recently voted into the Top 10 of LensCulture's prestigious Critic's Choice Awards 2023. Signed by Maker,Numbered See less
