The God of Farmers - Leonhardi Ride in Schliersee (II)

The God of Farmers - Leonhardi Ride in Schliersee

Leonhard of Limoges, whose saint´s day is 6th of november, was a franconian noble and lived at the court of the Merovingians before he left his home and dedicated his life to christianity. In rural and alpine areas of Europe he is one of the most venerated saints, known above all as the patron saint for convicts and for cattle and horses. As in many bavarian villages in Schliersee most families participate in this old tradition. Women and girls put on their traditional costumes and their herited family jewellery, men and boys deck out horses with shining harnesses and adorn them with flowers and ribbons.

Looking for Ataraxia by Eduardo Ochoa

Eduardo Ochoa for me transmits with his photographs his free and romantic spirit, but always in a disquieting and unsettling perspective. He seems to be an invader in a menacing and arcane environment, despite of all the traces and signs with which human beings transformed and marked the landscapes of Eduardo Ochoa. In Looking for Ataraxia you will discover landscape photography full of energy, electric landscapes, always in a dificult but obvious balance between calm and restlessness. The photographs are like cages containing a high potential of energy, always about to break up their prison, the prisons in which Ochoa locked them up and where all elements, material and inexistent, the vacuum, lights and shadows, are fusing into a new reality. The images of Looking for Ataraxia are reflections about the esencial, they are almost existential landscapes.
