Magnetic Myth • Mito Magnetico • Magnetisk Myt
Portray and composition Carles Roig, collection photos Ida
Johansson
Two forces opposite and complementary. Two poles of positive and
negative, light and dark, masculine and feminine, with the same desire to merge
as a magnet.
Plato claims that the humans in its original form where
androgynous united beings, with the organs duplicated, masculine and feminine
at the same time. This model of human was so powerful it became a threat to the
gods. Consequently they divided the creatures in two humans, men and women, eternally
doomed to seek its other half.
I received a special award at Instituto Europeo di Design as one
of the best designers at IED-Barcelona.
