CIRCLE-24 presents Rubèn GORDÉ One thing that can be said of Ruben Gordé is that he is not an ordinary photographer. He does the most complicated things simply. He uses the camera, dark room, special effedts and graphics. He controls the objects, lighting, lasers and models all for producing an image of unique style. Not an ordinary style. It is the style of Ruben Gordé and no-one else. Art First, (Europe) Rubèn Gordé 'El Teatro' Rubén Gordé ha creado un mundo fantasmagórico, que le pertenece. Por eso es un gran artista, que ordena formas y colores, claros y oscuros, hasta ahora no vistos. Las personas y las cosas están encaradas como un puzzle poético, que Gordé, con magia ilusionista, compone y descompone, armoniosamente, para nosotros. La serie ‘El Teatro’ es una de las pruebas más categóricas de que la fotografía puede ser una de las grandes artes del espacio, siempre que detrás de la cimera, y en la alquimia de luces y de sombras del laboratorio haya un espíritu c

date: 15/8/00 Dear Robert, I hope that the following will be of use to you. I have been a professional photographer since '85. Of course, in this time the main change in the way I work and in the business as a whole has been the use of computers. In the early days of computer imaging (late '80s, early '90s) many of my pictures were presumed to be computer generated. I suppose this was because of the intense colours and surreal subjects. On one occasion an image was used on the front cover of a computer magazine-I think there was a shortage of the real thing then! In fact, I shot everything 'in camera'. In '91 I was given the opportunity to produce 2 computer generated images for an exhibition to promote the Mamba (a workstation developed by Crossfield Electronics and backed by Fuji ). This was a fascinating experience but I continued to shoot everything 'in camera' and have only had my own system for 4 years. The enormous difference that this has
