Jose Lezama Lima made a reference
to a principle which became the touchstone throughout his poetic
opus. He called it the “Eros of the Distant”. It is
a way to combat claustrophobia and to break down the invisible
barriers which close one off from the exterior world. Over the
line of the horizon there exists another life isolated by the
time and distance generated by absence. This Eros of the Distant
has plunged deep into the souls of the Cuban artists, who lacking
wings, had to feed their imaginations. The Eros of the Distant
hasn't exempted Gory (Rogelio Lopez Marin). Gory has lived outside
of Cuba long enough to expand a cloistered vision into a knowledge
of the world, while remaining continually conscious of absence
and the invisible that persists in memory. The memory of going
over what has been done, what one had, and what one lost, returns
again and again in these fragments from the past. An image evolves
making the visible invisible, composing a puzzle which is different
yet has similar forms.
There is a secret alive deep inside
of things, in the line of the horizon, in the corners of memories
that don't die, in the yesterday which is today which is tomorrow
which is never. It is the design of creation, the need to express
oneself in the call of the unknown where suffering, uncertainty,
and happiness become poetic.
