He has engineered a creative legacy both in front and behind the camera for over three decades. . It was in the early 80’s that he was first discovered by Andy Warhol’s lens as a model for his new Interview magazine. One of the top male models in the world throughout the 80s and 90s, he is still considered one of the internationally recognized, fashion models of this era.

Tragic loss , such a cool and interesting man. What is the gear you have used in the past and present? Haha its no secret Im a film shooter. I have and use many different cameras. I shoot a Hasselblad 503cw at least till it was stolen. A Mamiya RZ67, Pentax 67, Linhof Master Technika 4x5 and a Sinar P2 8x10 . I love the Canon EOS 1V 35mm as well. Of course you have to shoot digital sometimes especially for advertising. I love the Leica S system… Also I use my Canon 5D as a Polaroid . Its well Know You still shoot mostly on film. Why is that? Film adds another layer to the image. I like my work to be cinematic and film is just that. I love the colors of film and nothing beats B/W film for B/W images.

that I realized how powerful art was and how it could influence people’s minds.
71
EXCLUSIVE I N T E RV I E W Where do you find inspiration for your work? In music, architecture, painting, cinema and literature. I like to be inspired and fascinated by something. I try not to lose this state for as long as possible and share it with others with the help of my creative activity. What is your favourite camera to shoot with and why? I love the old school technique, I have a Linhof gimbal and a Hasselblad 503 CW medium format in my studio. Of the digital equipment, there is the Phase One P40 and Leica M9 adapter. I just love all of these cameras, but I use the modern Sony Alpha 7R III for the job. Last year, at the invitation of Sony, I did a presentation for the new Sony Alpha 7R IV camera in Russia. It is at the pinnacle of technological progress at the moment and it is pleasant to realize this as well as it is convenient to use such a device in work. Light often plays an important part in your art. What other techniques do you enjoy experimenting with? I do love to control light. I use long exposures and stroboscopes. I combine constant light with flashes and experiment a lot with optical attachments and refractions. But lately I’ve been trying to work with color. It’s a completely different dimension that can have a powerful impact on the viewer. Despite having viewed a great deal of visual art and having learnt much in the field of color psychology, the mystery of color still remains incomprehensible to me. Your project LIGHT. SHADOWS. PERFECT WOMAN. Is most striking. Out of all of your projects and images, do you have a personal favourite? If so why? It is not easy for me to evaluate my own works, because many of them hide some kind of personal experience, and I may not be objective. For example, I like the work “Nadezhda”, but on the frame is my muse and my favorite model, as well as my wife and I cannot step back and be impersonal. Portraits of such projects as “Light. Shadows. 72

LIBIDO AND MORTIDO
Libido and mortido are the two powers that accompany us through life since our birth. Libido is aspiration for creativity and art or desire to live. But everything that moves is restricted and cannot be endless. Mortido is the power restricting libido, it is aspiration for death or aspiration for endless life out of the bounds of the body. Throughout life one suffers these powers fighting. The inward mortido destroys the libido, so it is destructive and self-destructive. Sabina Spielrein speaks of aspiration for death as the primitive instinct of human being. Nevertheless we cannot regard libido and mortido as fighting antitheses. They are more like dialectical opposites interpenetrating each other. The individual senses the interaction of these two powers and being influenced by their interaction tries to find some balance inside to preserve oneself. And while the inward mortido causes destructive changes of the personality, that is the process of destroying the personality, the libido directed to the self leads to the cognition of one’s true self. In the photographs the figure of a woman is used as a symbol, as reflection of the human consciousness being at the boundary of the two concepts of creation and destruction. It is a woman’s figure that is depicted because it is associated with the concept of the Anima introduced by the psychologist Jung. It implies the feminine archetype that is the influence of emotions, moods and inwardness. The masculine archetype, the Animus, is characterized by outwardness and tough overriding decisions. In the techniques we make use of the experience of such great experimentalists as František Drtikol, Erwin Blumenfeld and Victor Skrebneski. Through the use of contrasting light and shadows we show the two antitheses coexisting in the human consciousness. And the fighting of these two antitheses is shown through the use of optical deflections.

t is a pleasure to chat with both Sergio Guadarrama and Kade Johnson. Following in the footsteps of iconic design duo’s; Viktor & Rolf and Dolce &
Gabbana, Segio and Kade at the helm of couture brand, CELESTINO. Established in 2005, the label unties classical couture with important culture messages. Each CELESTINO creation is designed and produced in the US, taking conscious consideration for sustainability. Hand crafted from up-cycled, organic fabrics, the celebrity backed couture label is challenging the concepts of couture. The brand also wholeheartedly embraces the culture of the LGBTQ+ community, with CELESTINO aspiring to be a positive role model within the somewhat cut-throat, fashion industry. We would love to hear how Sergio and Kade met? Creative soulmates? Kade and I met at one of the fundraiser fashion shows I had in Texas. We became friends for a few years and finally decided to go on a date and the rest has been a transformation of building an empire to take on the issues in the world and bring positive change through our craft. As a couple who lives and works together we see ourselves as creative soulmates made for each other, the ying and yang to each other, where one lacks the other steps in. A successful duo, we understand your partnership works as designer and creative director. What were your initial reactions to each other from a business perspective? Did your shared love of building your brand deepen your bond? Kade came from a modelling/acting/branding

background which really brought another dynamic to Celestino. Having a partner to help and make the world beautiful is really what makes our bond even deeper. We have found that when we were in the same direction creatively, magic happens. Honestly one would think we would be tired of each other, but that honestly is not the case at all we thrive off of one another (especially when a collection is in the developmental process). Our relationship continually grows and becomes stronger throughout each day we spend together. We are so grateful to have this type of relationship where we can be around each other 24/7. The brand CELESTINO marries classical couture techniques with intricate and innovative concepts. What does couture mean to you? Couture to us, means providing a beautifully crafted made-to-measure garment with a personal experience that you could never receive in a store. It’s showing that an actual designer who owns their own atelier, made the garment by their own hands specifically for the customer. It’s the moment of receiving a special one-of-a-kind piece.

NICOLAS GUZMÁN
fine artist
B
orn in Xalapa, Veracruz, he studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts. His development as an artist includes disciplines such as painting, sculpture, performance, installation, graphics and photography. His research centers around the nature of art; questioning the pictorial possibilities and the role of creation from the materials and the inherent limitations that both these, as well as the representation formats, mean in the perception of constructive elements such as matter, color and space. The continuous questioning leads to the search for resolutions through experimental processes that in turn are in continuous transformation, in different directions and with different possibilities of expression. Guzmán conceives painting as an activity of thought; a constant exercise of translations. Nicolás Guzmán has had solo exhibitions at Museo Tamayo, Oaxaca, Museum of Mexico City, CDMX, Galería Chao Galpao, Sao Luis, Brazil, Spike Print Studio, Bristol, England; as well as groups in Galería Nueva, Madrid, Spain, University of Arts and Music of Tokyo, Japan, Centro de las Artes San Agustín Etla, Oaxaca, La Quiñonera, CDMX, among others. Experimentation through painting has led him to carry out production residencies at Clear Lake University, USA (2005), Phnom Penh University of Fine Arts, Cambodia (2011), Spike Print Studio, Bristol, England (2016), Ogami Press, Madrid, Spain (2016) and Proyecto T, Hispanic Gallery, Mexico City (2017). His work has been presented at international fairs such as BLOOM, Cologne, Germany (2010), ZONA MACO, CDMX, Mexico (2012), MULTIPLIED, London, England (2014) and JUSTLX, Lisbon, Portugal (2019).
