Lockdown brought many changes to life, including my work. Composition 517 reflects on what things may look like when I'm no longer here. All of us are a product of our age. At present we are living in a 'post-truth' world where a lot of the information we receive is meant to lie, confuse or obfuscate. In this “Lockdown” series my images have been taken from reality but manipulated to suit my needs and wants. They are intended to clarify that indeed, they are NOT truthful. They are captured from reality, however what is shown is not what there is, but what I wish there to be. I am hoping that my images may contribute to art and society in two ways: First, to remind viewers that truth should be questioned and verified. Secondly, to please the eye with largerr than life colour and idealised shapes and forms. The intention is to create interesting and aesthetically pleasing images, based not on emotions, but on reason. I’m pulling at the heartstrings with the neurons of the mind. I hope

He has an obsessive interest in disentangling truth from "alternative truth" in the ‘post-truth’world. Christopher Cristóbal was born in Mexico City on 15.11.51 – a palindrome. He travelled to Europe on a one-way air ticket, hitchhiking for several months and winding up in London He has directed documentaries and educational television programmes and worked as a professional photographer. He is author of two books on architecture and sociall history: "Look Up! Winchester" and "Look Up! Salisbury". He has come to regard himself as an image creator, using the camera to record reality and transforming it into Platonic views. His images are impossible – however much some may resemble reality (see his essay, "True Colours" at his website: www.christophernewberry.com).
