Title composed of a hybrid that unites three concepts: • EGO: Self. • SYSTEM: socio-political and cultural environment in which I live. • ECOSYSTEM: territories as spaces in which I develop.
The most limited is my job and the most peripheral is my hometown.
The job consists of three parts: The first part deals with how the particular interest of the large multinationals degrades the relationships of its workers and depresses the social ecosystem in which it is carried out.
This is my own diary LEVIATAN, which Hobbes described so well in 1651:”It is not irrational to prefer the destruction of the world to hurt my finger.”
The second part takes this “formal impulse” to my other more peripheral space, where the same intentions and influences of the great BRANDS are repeated again to dominate and direct over governments.
Getting to square our “reason”, to inhibit our “most sensitive” and natural impulse, conditioning
our emotions since we were born through advertising.
The third part is what I hope will arise in those who, discover the balance necessary to find their humanity, feeling free.
All this, as Friedrich Schiller said, can only be discovered through a third impulse called “The impulse
of the GAME” finding beauty through education. Being art, the only tool to access it.
Pablo Ruiz Ortiz
Biography: My interest in photography as an amateur starts from analog photography and its black and white development. With the passage of time it was taking on greater relevance. Letting myself be carried away by great masters such as Jorge Represa, with whom I studied and analyzed for 4 years the work of the most representative authors in the history of classical photography at the Santander school (LA RECÁMARA). I continue my training of contemporary photography in (CFC),Bilbao. I attend workshops and seminars with authors such as Alberto García-Alix, Ricky Dávila, Horacio Fernández and Jesús Micó. In this way I get carried away by everything that catches my attention and which, in turn, claims my intention. In 2015 I began my studies by the hand of Julián Barón in (BLANKPAPER), Madrid. I am currently studying philosophy at the University of Cantabria, investigating the relationships and influences of the world of art and image on the sociopolitical behavior of human beings in the world.
Artist statement: Pablo Ruiz Ortiz’s work develops photography inside a sculpture. It is a complex work that shows the content and the argument. “We are the victims of a hidden war.” The so-called globalization focuses on spreading in a subversive didactic way a “well-directed fear” that gives rise to emotional competition. which Hobbes so well described in 1651: “It is not irrational to prefer the destruction of the world that to injure my finger.”
