He is interested in raising a series of dilemmas between representation and interpretation (perception) and establishes a relationship between the content of his images, the physical properties of the materials on which his works are reproduced, and their place in the exhibition space.
Therefore, Aitor Ortiz establishes a broad spectrum of relationships between photographed places, the conscious and unconscious mechanisms involved in the process of image manipulation: the eye (interpretation, frame, contextualization), the camera (focus, blur, optical distortion, motion transmission), and the brain (the limitations of an imperfect device in the interpretation of data and empirical skills: experience, concept association) that culminate in the exhibition space, where physical experience again transcends the content of his photographs as part of a process of constant interaction between representation and the spectator’s perception.
