The book is divided in 6 chapters, presenting the narrative arch of the universe: between the initial and the final “nothing”… all the history of mankind.
‘Obscuria de Profundis’ received the kind support of the Universidad de Cádiz. It is released on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Obscuria de Profundis by Tolo Parra’, that takes place in the Kursala Gallery of the University of Cádiz.
‘Obscuria de Profundis’ was developed from 2016 to 2020. It is a search for visual answers to the riddle of existence. Tolo uses everyday objects that correspond with allegorical objects in the cosmos. They illustrate the path that the species have traveled from its origin to the present time. Looking for the resolution of the oldest enigma, that of existence: What are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?
It remains the main reason that moves the species to continue. From the dark path to the light of knowledge.
Parra's photographs are mixed with found images to create a visual dialogue between eras and matter. Attempting to answer, though fiction, those real questions.
