ENTRY DESCRIPTION

North Cape, the end of the world. You cannot get further north in Norway. The outermost reach of Europe marks a celebratory finish to any journey to the north or can be the beginning of summer-dreams in its longer midnight sun.

The 307-metre-high cliff, diving directly down into the Arctic Ocean, has for centuries been a point of reference for seafarers. Along with the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Farewell, Cape Horn and Cape Comorin, it a milestone for sailors and world travellers alike.

AUTHOR
Born in Granada (1963), adopted by Madrid, where he started as a train driver to become a computer engineer. In photography he presents himself as Juanjo Marimesa, clinging to his origins as point of reference and releasing between reality and the dreamlike, interrelating feelings and realism, and investigating new forms of expression with light, movement, and focus.

His interest in photography goes back a long way, but it is now that he is developing his passion for the relationship between images, fantasies, myths, the characters that shape the landscape, and exploring new ways of interpreting the world.

In this continuous learning he experiments with techniques such as ICM (intentional camera movement), or selective blurring, with a certain pictorial orientation; in the search to transmit emotions, assuming that for this sometimes it is not enough to reproduce, but to transform the scene, to feel the atmosphere and the environment even giving up the details.
