NAIVY (Nyvie)

By Coco Capitán

Coco Capitán is a Spanish artist who is constantly evolving. A collection of works exhibited at the first solo exhibition in Japan held at Shibuya PARCO, "NATIVY: in fifty (definitive) photographs". Complete collection of 50 photographic works of the recently completed "Naïvy" series. Coco Capitán's own handwritten statement, and contributions by Hiroshi Lena Fritchu (U.K., Modern Art Curator of the Ashmorean Museum) are also included.

 

■What is “Naïvy”?
This series, which deals with themes such as adventure, attribution, and loss of innocence, is dedicated to the imaginary sea world where the sailors of Capitan “Lost Naïvy” live. The characters appearing in Capitane's photographs have a clumsy and immature human odor, but at the same time are almost mythical, and the limbs sparkling underwater resemble the mysterious mar people who come and go between diverse sexes. To complete this series, I returned to the dark room and spent hours getting acquainted with analog printing techniques again. The 10-year-old production of Naïvy is a footprint of the growth and progress of one artist Kapitan himself.
