The Leap One

Cabanas, Galicia, 1982. Hondartza Fraga uses drawing, animation and photography as expressive means to explore our relationship, both individually and collectively with the world around us and the different 'distances' between us and everything else: physical, temporal, emotional, cultural distances and imagined. Frequent protagonists of his works are scale models of broken ships, incomplete maps, blank terrestrial globes and other domestic objects that evoke adventures or remote places. The sea is a constant reference because it represents everything foreign to us, the unknown that due to its vastness is easily idealized.
