The volcanoes precede us and will outlast us; they are presences we share with other ages of the Earth and with those who once inhabited it. The landscape of the Valley of Mexico and its surroundings—framed by the Iztaccíhuatl and the Popocatépetl—is the conceptual and emotional point of departure for ‘Ahí donde quiebra el camino’. In this exhibition, Jorge Rosano Gamboa expands his exploration of image and matter, derived from his interest in what he calls photographic thought: a way of understanding reality through light, time, and revelation. Here, without abandoning his attention to form and the magic of transmutation, his gaze shifts toward the landscape. Rather than representing the environment, Rosano Gamboa conjures it: his works become spaces of revelation where the landscape appears—through matter, through perception, and through memory.
