NANUCVY (Nyvie)

Author Coco Capitán (Coco Capittan)

Coco Capitán (Coco Capitán), a special Spanish artist who constantly evolves. This is a collection of works that include works exhibited in Japan's first solo exhibition "NACVY: in fifty (definitive) photographs" held at Shibuya PARCO. Completely includes 50 photographic works from the recently completed "Naïvy" series. Coco Capitan's own handwritten statement, contributions by Lena Fritchu Hiroshi (U.K., modern art curator at the Ashmorean Museum) are also posted.

 

■What is "Naïvy"?
This series, which deals with themes such as adventure, attribution, and loss of innocent, is dedicated to the imaginary sea world where sailors, who are Capitan's Lost Naïvy [Navy], live. The person appearing in Capitan's photographs has a clumsy and immature human odor, but at the same time is almost mythical, and the limbs that sparkle in the water resemble a mysterious Marpeple (underwater) who travels and goes through various sexualities. In order to complete this series, I went back to the darkroom, spent hours and became familiar with analog printing techniques again. The 10-year-old production of Naïvy is a footprint of the growth and progress of one artist, Capitan himself.
