Rafa Celda. Graphic designer
Facility: Lost in labyrinths Solve them to arrive at a simple graphic solution full of content. Latest project: Graphic identity for DLana* Video: In the labyrinth. Some projects. Angélica Eriksson | Single track labyrinth "I know about a Greek labyrinth which is a single, straight line. A line in which so many philosophers have got lost that a mere detective could easily lose himself." Lönnrot the Detective in Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges. Thanks to: Francisco López Alejandra Striuk | The conspiracy of Words In his tale "The Conspiracy of Words" Benito Pérez Galdós relates the rebellion of the words in the Spanish language with the aim of claiming the importance of language and displaying its beauty. He refers to the dictionary as the "great monument", a vast labyrinth which harbours all the words in our language. In the revolutionary manner of Raymond Queneau or Georges Perec with French, Galdós brings the language to life and makes it speak. Nowadays language is suffering the consequences of communicative immediacy and simplicity, especially on the internet, where its poverty is emphasised by the amount of superficial and inaccurate information which is generated. The Vera viewing tool aims to call attention to this fact through the analysis of literary texts as exponents of good quality language with the objective of complementing and promoting reading. Isidro Ferrer | Labyrinth I was lost in myself because I was a labyrinth, and now, within myself, I only feel nostalgia... "The Book of Disquiet" Fernando Pessoa Charo Iglesias | Origins. June 2014 A beret made of rabbit felt covered with mallard feathers, a silk lining and a cotton grosgrain ribbon. A bird made of cork and hat brim wire and lined with felt and mallard and golden pheasant feathers. A rabbit made out of rabbit skin and stuffed with wadding. Cotton worms lined with brown silk and silkette. Silk and cotton ribbons. Thanks to: Our learners.
