TRAVELS & JOURNEYS
BY SABRINA GUITART


Sabrina Guitart, is a Franco-Spanish photographer, independent filmmaker, poet and free-lance writer. She currently lives in Portland, OR.



Our life is a journey... Traveling within your own region or in far away places; outward or inward; moving, so we don't expire, so we  encounter the flow and harmony of life that is a search and not a shelter. I know that as long as I maintain a thirst for life, the multidimensional layers, often times buried underneath a more approachable reality, will keep revealing themselves. As long as the wonderer in us keeps awake, we can cultivate our senses to a place where purity and magic dance.


Through photography I linger in a suspended moment in time where I can reach what is behind the apparent. The human landscape intrigues me. From the spontaneous grace of the young, to the stoic ancient faces of the wise. I am pulled by the whole naturalness of the child as much as from the sculpted faces that reflect experience of life. 


Black & White photography, is another form of expression where I find the poetic, sensual and ancestral imagery that reveals the delicate material that the reverie of life is made of.  

If the windows of the soul are open, if the precious gesture occurs , we can find the threshold to a bare honest expression that manifests the sentiment of being alive, that arises the consciousness and wakes up the asleep.

-San Juan Chamula- México













San Juan Chamula es una aldea indigena situada en los majestuosos altos cerros de Chiapas.  En este pueblo existe la pequeña iglesia de San Juan Bautista. La puerta de la iglesia es un umbral que al cruzarlo, te traslada a otro lugar más allá del tiempo.  Briznas de hierba y  cientos de velas de diferentes colores  cubren el suelo del templo. En este recinto sagrado se escuchan acompañados de rituales Mayas, los rezos ancestrales  de su lengua Tzotzil. La vida y la muerte, lo cercano y lo oculto habitan contigüamente.
