De Natura Libris

Álvaro Alejandro López, De Natura Libris, 35 black and white pigment/inkjet fine art photographs with accompanying texts.
“Photographic series “De Natura Libris” portrays the interactions we have with books: physical and abstract. The corporeity of a book is recorded through its structures, textures, forms and signs of use. Experiences are ultimately individual, evoked by any number of attributes: the content of a book, its textures and smells, the memories it awakens, or simply the aesthetic beauty of its parts. By reading and using books, people create ties. As each journey through a book is personal, so is the interpretation of these photographs…
The project relies on the collaboration of different writers who wrote or shared texts taking the photographs as a starting point. Some authors are: Ana Blandiana, Orhan Pamuk, Joanna Kavenna, Jacqueline Woodson, Yann Martel, Javier Cercas, Ruth Padel, Salman Rushdie, Yan Lianke, John Banville, Enrique Vila Matas, Roger Chartier, Cornelia Funke, Forrest Gander, Alberto Manguel and more.”
