Erotomania: an eye upon Tinto Brass
I won't make a chronicle here about his career or style in detail; because that's not the point, and if someone wants to see this, here can be redirected to http://www.tintobrass.to/ website that as can be seen, is absolute art in itself; that's clear; albeit not strange coming from Brass.
Just to throw some little word about someone whose movies are replete of beauty and that are an ode to the senses.
Dedicated himself since the early 80's to produce exclusively erotic films, where the beauty of the woman, the passion, the strange in all its forms, the sexual ardour and even the paradox and the baffling are always present.
Anyways, i adore when his work falls into the easy porn, too, though always with an exuberant, classy detail.
City and the dystopia
Hi; it's me; sometimes i wonder what is like to walk inside a tortil mind's lane: the dystopia of the city.
Well actually i used to roam there trying to find some thrills in the haze; you know.
Some thrills in the haze. But i'm still i; I; you know i can't change...
...Gijón is so nebulous in the winter mornings by the shore...
And hey; i wondered, just wondered: what about me? What about anyone who's occult behind the anonymous mask of the city?
A mask full of perversions and unexpected dark sides; hey...
Gijón is so nebulous in the winter mornings by the shore.
But, when you look into my eyes: what do you see..?
The winters of the city hide something rare in the Sol: schizoid looks and the orphan...
I know what all those beggars and old people close to die want...
This is a conspiracy of silence, and nobody else knows the perversions that are occult inside your mind, you.
You.
...But i don't mind: all they are near to die; all them. Children of rape & the violence: marginal cold of a distant dystopia...
But for me. For me everything seems to be distant. Like past lives where all the horror and the masquerade haunt me in blurred images in the white nights, when the rain buries alive the sky into the land.
Because i'm dead and gone.
If you'd know how incredibly cold is all this...
The dance of the regeneration will come at last; like a newly born coming out from the vaginal meat.
Like the vaginal meat that encircles the city, in the high hours of the black menace...
But i am dead. And gone.
.
Semblance
I born dead.
My mother was a blind sky; my father was the sibilant wind...
I grew in a home enchanted by the horror.
Men-faced spiders were my friends...
I was a crystal titan in a valley of deaf ones.
[I was] breast-fed by a vampire up to my 16th year of life...
Then, fire from Heaven destroyed our home. Our abyss.
Our home-abyss, where the days were eternal...eternal...
Forced by celestial decree, i became a nightclad apparition for the ones who once [said] love me.
An apparition with wings of centipede.
The astral elements cursed my path away and i found the revelation of the Star of Israel, the children of Sem, the thunder that numbs...
Digression:
"Once i thought you had the power to turn the daylight into immutability.
Once i thought your arms were transparent...
You: deep lake to port, wonderwall; you, my midnight train... "
...I was the perplex astronomer, the inhuman beast, and here i am, on my legs, sticking myself the lance deeper, puking vipers...
Now, the wind started blowing again.
All the criminals are on the streets. Again.
I'm just a shadow of the past.

ALBERTO GARCIA ALIX
Creo que no es necesario decir mucho más sobre este hombre que todos los que amamos la fotografía conocemos sobradamente. Lo unico que podemos hacer es ver su obra, bajar la cabeza humildemente ante su buen hacer, agradecerle esas imágenes con que nos deleita y retirarnos a disfrutar del regusto de haber contemplado semejante trabajo.
