NELSON RAMIREZ DE ARELLANO CONDE (artist and director of the Fototeca de Cuba, Havana)

Understanding photography, a need of understanding before creating

In his talk Nelson Ramirez de Arellano Conde gives an insight into his artistic work. He analyses the characteristics of the axis between “documentary” and “created”, “subjective” and “objective” to understand different artists’ choices to create their art. He also presents his ideas about “art based in the equation":

A = I + F (RC + AeC + IC) HTRT 3

Art = Idea + Form (Rational Content + Aesthetic Content + Irrational Content) Hitting the Right Time 3

Nelson Ramirez de Arellano Conde, member of Liudmila & Nelson, a collaborative photography based artistic team created by the Cuban artists Liudmila Velasco (b. Moscow, Russia, 1969) and Nelson Ramirez de Arellano (b. Berlin, Germany, 1969), both living and working in Havana, Cuba. Liudmila and Nelson represented Cuba at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.
