Miguel is a Winograd, Vinogradov, of the people who worked or lived near a vineyard, near Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest, of fertility, of ritual madness. Maybe these photographs come close to that Dionysian understanding of the complexity of nature which goes beyond the scientific, the distanced, the binary way of approaching meaning. Closer to myth, to an organic means of representing the organic through the chemistry of light. Text by Enrique Ramirez.
