ABOUT
MARC HORS

Born on the 21st of September, 1972 in Barcelona, being middle of three brothers, he lived his childhood in a fishing town located in the Maresme (PremiĆ” de Mar).

A“Photography”, another of his great passions, make his life, full of unexpected events.

During those years, living a nomad life, travelling through authochtonous places, his interest to capture the images, were useful to have knowledge of the truth about this absolutely unknown world for most of its inhabitants. Lacking in knowdledge concerning growth, completely diverging to a reality, give us the opportunity to develope and live where we live for thousand of years.
While time passed, Marc was becoming interested and keeping in touch with people with a criterion and very strong values. The respect, solidarity, creativity, knowledge, imagination, inconformism , tolerance, value, freedom, were some of the concepts that make him follow a different way more agreeable with the reality that he wanted to live.

After some years dedicated to the competition, he decided to make a 180 degree turn to his life, to break with this divergence that was becoming a distressed.
The decision was not easy, Sartre, Van Gogh, Epicuro, help him to make it.

Sartre (1905-1980): The human being must be free and should not allow society to restrict himself to reach this freedom.

Van Gogh ( 1853-1890): What would life have been if we have not the courage to try something.

Epicuro (341-270 a.J.C.): To feel good with ourselves, we should know how to distinguish what is needed than what is seems to.

Three months later, dreams that seem impossible started to become true. With two backpacks, one of them containing a very small luggage, and in the other one, the photographic equipment, he was embarked in an adventure that should take him to travel across South America during 365 days. Starting point, Ushuaya (Argentina), followed by Chile, Bolivia, Brasil and Uruguay.
Travelling alone, from this first trip, many adventures and anecdotes arisen, 2500 pictures were taken, being available some of them in this web.
This trip also was useful to make an approachment more objective about what was necessary and what was the best method to communicate to the human beings the experiences and sensations felt through an image.
