Elogio de la Sombra – Bolsillo
A brief essay that will delight anyone interested in Japanese culture and art in general. Behind the apparent simplicity of its pages, Tanizaki unravels his aesthetic thinking and reveals, through a brilliant and continuous line of examples, a mysterious world—perhaps one that has disappeared—that we can access as a source of inspiration to create our own aesthetic world. It is the world of shadow, in which even the most trivial experience or the most mundane act can be sublime.
The Praise of Shadows is a defense of an art and a society—the Japanese one—that values dusk, nuance, and subtlety, those aspects that enrich and give interest to things, in contrast to the Western obtrusiveness created by excess light, relentless modernization, and practicality, which, by making things too obvious, renders them garish.

Estudio Laterna is an interdisciplinary design space based in Ibiza that integrates landscape architecture with a strong artistic approach. The studio was founded in 2004 by Andrea Sánchez and Ricardo Jarpa. The landscape architectural designs are led by Andrea with a team of landscape architects, biologists and artists. The application of the designs is directed by Ricardo with a team of professional gardeners and artisans. Together they create an alternative form of landscape architectural practice that unites design and exploration, pushing boundaries, connecting nature and its realms, speaking the ever evolving language of the more-than-human. This intertwining was the leitmotif that also inspired them to create Estudio Laterna Art Gallery, a nest of art in the heart of Ibiza island, manifesting a new perspective for local communities and international artists. Estudio Laterna is also developing other creative projects such as Kossmun, an experimental outdoor furniture brand.
