Portable altarpiece
by Daniel Rodríguez Barrón
Description
“Retrato portátil by Daniel Rodríguez Barrón is an essay in which the author recovers the modern definition of this genre, proposed by Michel de Montaigne five centuries ago: it is that wandering and exploring oneself, from the exterior of the body to the interior of the conscience or spirit in order to recognize oneself and the world. In this way, the author puts himself to the test before the centaur of genres to try and think about concepts such as existence and reality, between objects and their reproduction, distorted or not, in an image, but he does so through the memory of his readings and visits to museums and art galleries.
In a casual way but following a serious critical route, this is an essay told as a chronicle of a trip and memories through the library and the author's memory, where he makes the apparent improvisation of references a machine of doubts, answers, and stories that the reader must activate with the key of reflection.”
