Ciuco Gutiérrez

Veinte anos dedicado a erigir una nueva realidad a partir de lo cotidiano. Ciuco Gutiérrez (Torrelavega, 1956) mantiene intacta la seduccion que, como las peliculas de Almodovar o los diseños de Agata Ruiz de la Prada, evita la indiferencia en el publico. Su fotografia no es un mero indice de la realidad porque entiende que lo trivial y rutinario precisan de nuevas escenografias. Entiende que los emblemas de la sociedad de la opulencia deben ser desmitificados a base de ironia, sarcasmo y mucho kitsch. Algo huele a podrido en Occidente y Ciuco Gutiérrez disfruta hostigando con la representacion de los desechos de nuestra cultura. Este nuevo libro forma parte de la Coleccion PhotoBolsillo, que publica cada mes cuidadas monografias de los fotografos españoles mas importantes, con un formato didactico y asequible. After twenty years devoted to building a new reality based on the quotidian, Ciuco Gutiérrez (Torrelavega, 1956), has preserved intact a seduction which, like Almodovar's films or Agata Ruiz de la Prada's designs, never meets with public indifference. His photography is not a mere measure of reality, because he believes that the trivial and routine call for new settings. He thinks that the emblems of an opulent society must be demythified by irony, sarcasm and lashings of kitsch. Something is rotten in the West and Ciuco Gutiérrez enjoys harassing us with his representation of our culture's discards. This new volume is part of the PhotoBolsillo Collection, which every month publishes a carefully prepared monograph, in a didactic, affordable format, on Spain's most important photographers.
