Book project and drawings (2019)
The Poetic Design: From Mimesis to Catharsis explores the visual poetry and basis of Greek aesthetic philosophy through its four main elements: Mimesis, Poiesis, Apate (Esthetic Illusion), and Catharsis. The series of illustrations are part of the artist’s master thesis at the Bauhaus University, Weimar and are the result of analysis of “the natural process of creation” and the visual poetry generated from the alteration of meanings in materiality by melting discourses into these physical elements.
Biography:
Homero Ruiz (MX/DE), masters student at the Bauhaus University, Weimar in media art and design. After he earned his bachelors in product design (Tecnológico de Monterrey, 2012), his work began to focus on the overlap of philosophy, esthetics, and art. At present, his work is inspired by great thinkers such as Platon, Hegel, Foucault, Krippendorff, and Tomas Schmit. His theoretical work contemplates the renaissance of arts, recognizing the near end of postmodernity.
